What does the Creator want of us? No more than to fear Him -- to walk in His ways, to love Him and to serve Him with whole hearts... (Devarim 10.12)
To fear the Creator is to realize that we stand before a magnificent king and to feel ashamed of talking in His presence.
To walk in the Creator's ways is to be magnificent ourselves, bestowing goodness on others to the best of our abilities.
To love the Creator is to look always to please Him, and to rejoice whenever we are able to do so.
With a whole heart is to serve the Creator without any side interest or intention. (From Mesillas Yesharim, Author's Introduction)
