How does ACIM define Love?

A Course in Miracles defines love as the eternal ground of your being, Love is what you are, what you came from, and where you will return to in your awareness, eventually.

Love is that which created you, ensuring that you could never be anything but love, except in your own imagination. These are the facts of creation, and only the insane believe and see otherwise. Love is reality itself, and the source of all life; the alpha and omega, the certain destiny of all that lives.  

All suffering comes naught but from a belief that there exists anything real and true that is not loving.  

Joy and love and truth are inseparable. Where one is they all are. Where one is absent, are the rest lost. If you are not happy, you do not know that perfect love exists in you, and therefore do not know the truth about yourself. You are deceived about yourself, and so you mourn and grieve and suffer pain. 

But in any holy instant, you can return to the true nature of your being and remember the love that you both have and are. And in that holy moment, you can also experience the perfect, simple joy that children have in just being alive. 

Where you once believed that happiness came as a result of something happening to you, now you are learning that inner happiness comes from remembering how unspeakably loved you are by that which created you. 

ACIM directs us to say frequently to ourselves that we are sustained by the love of God. So not only is love the content of truth and joy itself, but the Course is also reminding us that love is a universal force that is the source of creation, and hence the essence of all creativity. How could lack be real in a universe of unbounded creativity? 

How could it be that any living being does not have enough in a universe of love?  

In short, Love is not an emotion, but the sustaining force of the eternal state of your being. 

Question: Will you continue to seek love outside of you, trying to purchase it with the coins of your sacrifice, or will you seek it within you, where it will ecstatically dawn upon you?
