DEUT544 According to [Judah] Loew [of Prague], human love for God differs from all other types of love. In love of God, one's love originally derives from God, the source of all. In other types of loves, love derives originally from the lover. Only in love of God does one love with the love which God has given us to love. In this regard, Loew wrote: "The love one has for God is not one's own but derives from God. It comes from God and one returns it to God. ... Love of God is more fitting than love of anything or of anyone else. For an every kind of love that exist between two lovers, though they may cleave one to the other, nevertheless, each retains their own individuality. However, in the love of human beings for God, one completely returns one's soul to God to the extent that one loses one's individuality and completely cleaves to God, as it is written, "to love the Lord your God and to cleave to Him" (this verse). This is complete love." Judah Loew, Netivot Olom, 2 vols. (New York: Judaica Press, 1969), "Netiv Ahavat ha-Shem," chap. 1, p. 39.
