God loves you (as long as you are really crawly, lick his boots and kiss some other part).

No not at all,

God as the creater is derserving of our appreciation and obendience, it is up to all of us to be humble enough to accept that he is and show our appreciation by our obedience.

You yourself would very much like your own children to appreciate your care and love wouldn't you? (of course I will know and expect your comeback on that comment xx)
