God desires a genuine love relationship with us. For that to happen there must be the freedom to choose. Love cannot be forced or coerced. Love is either freely given and freely received or it is not love.
a child, for example, is all about me, myself and I...a parent is supposed to teach that you share, you are polite, you don't always get your way so no use wanting or demanding it...and so on...
saying God desires a genuine love relationship um...don't take this the wrong way...but does He really? what is the sum of the love God wants then, if that is what He wants...I am probably sounding philosophical at this point, but love can so be forced...people do it to each other all the time...ie: if you love me you will...(fill in the blank) or if you loved me you would...(fill in the blank)
I guess maybe you mean God wants His love returned? which is a different story
I am not satisfied with the example of love must be free choice...maybe that's just me...but...
