From his book 'Born of God': Love is not incompatible with respect; indeed, they should go together. It is not love unless there is respect also. Take the sloppy sentimentality of the romantic film. That is not love, that is lust, some silly infatuation. Where there is love, there is respect: supremely, in love to God. Where you get the true father-child relationship, the child not only loves the father, but has respect for the father, looks up to the father and tends to think that the father is omniscient and all powerful and so on. Respect is inevitably a part of this whole relationship.
