Truly, the Great Commandment is to love God absolutely - the distant second is to love our neighbors unconditionally. (paraphrased from Matt 22.)

However, it is possible to chew gum and walk at the same time.

The Son surely loves the Father absolutely - even while He was making everything, even while being born, speaking the Sermon on the Mount, while struggling in the Garden of Gethsemane, and while giving up the Spirit on the Cross.

It is His state of being - as it is to be ours whether in this world or the one to come.

In this world, full of temptations, as you say we must constantly clear the weeds. Such is not the life to come in God's presence. Spending eternity with God can be meaningful only if we can spend it learning ever-more and seeing ever-more of His beauty and love and never learn it all.
