Owen: transfiguring love

Meditation:
[Jesus:] “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.”
—John 13:34 (NIV)

Quotation:
All love, in general, hath an assimilating efficacy; it casts the mind into the mould of the thing beloved... Every approach unto God by ardent love and delight is transfiguring.
... John Owen (1616-1683), V.1 in A Discourse Concerning Holy Spirit, bk. I-V [1674], in Works of John Owen, v. III, London: Johnson & Hunter, 1852, p. 585 (see the book)
See also John 13:34; Ps. 30:4; 37:1-6; 40:8; Zech. 9:17; 1 Cor. 13:4-8; 1 John 3:11

Quiet time reflection:
Lord, may I love others as You have loved me.
