What does it mean to be a victim of Divine Love?

I’m not sure I know of contexts where I’ve seen this used, but that doesn’t stop me from having an opinion. 
The only way I can interpret “victim,” is someone upon whom the Divine Love acts. Not neccessarily someone who is hurt by another. So basically it seems to me it is sounds similar to saying “I’m have received a gift of Divine Love,” except in a more abstract way.
Whenever we do contemplative prayer, we invite God to bestow us with spiritual and mental gifts. Maybe I could look at it as being a willing object of the giving, then a “victim.”
It sounds to me like a metaphor for someone who is proclaiming that their love is so great that they are influenced beyond their ability to resist.
