God expects us to acts as if everything is about him. He is the center of everything. That could be construed as vainly self-centered as well, so I don't know why you would be bothered by the idea that God is an object of his own love. Healthy souls love themselves in healthy ways. God's love is totally healthy, reasonable and warranted. Self-centeredness as a vice just doesn't apply in his case.
Perhaps a new thread?

Perhaps I have a bias. I prefer the last Adam, the life-giver, the call no man good, but God, that came as a lowly humble servant.
