Yirat Shamayim

Antignos of Socho used to say: "Do not be like servants who serve their master because of an expected reward.  Be like those who serve the master without expectation of reward, and let the fear of Heaven be upon you."  --Pirkay Avot 1:2

The greatest form of love of God comes from awe, not fear of punishment or want of reward.
