Why does God want us to love and trust Him so much?
I am not sure where you're going with this. I guess the quick answer is that since God is the supreme good, it's good for us to trust and love Him so much. He wants us to trust and love Him because it's the best thing for us. Why do you want your kids to trust and love you? Because it's good for them, right? Because that represents the natural relationship between a child and parent, right? It's a good in and of itself, and it represents the means by which the child can realize the fullness of his own goodness, no?
"People think it must be fun to be a super genius, but they don't realize how hard it is to put up with all the idiots in the world."
