The objective unequivocal promises of the Gospel to the penitent sinner, leaving no room for despairing and -in fact- commanding the opposite, such that despite all senses, in the face of all sins and Satan's accusations, despite all outer circumstances, hoping against home, one who is still breathing, may still have Christ according to God's prescribed means. Hear from the Gospel of Isaiah (Ch/ 55, my emphases added):
Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters,
and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat;
yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.
Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread?
and your labour for that which satisfieth not?
hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that which is good,
and let your soul delight itself in fatness.
Incline your ear, and come unto me:
hear, and your soul shall live;
and I will make an everlasting covenant with you,
even the sure mercies of David.
. . . .
Seek ye the Lord while he may be found,
call ye upon him while he is near:
let the wicked forsake his way,
and the unrighteous man his thoughts:
and let him return unto the Lord,
and he will have mercy upon him;
and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
I am not sure how to answer this, except to say that I rejoice in the objective promise that God will in "no wise cast out," and will save "to the uttermost," any and all who come to Him by Christ (John 6, Heb. 7). The satisfaction comes from the truth that these promises cannot be gainsaid, because the promises of God are yea, and Amen (1 Cor. 2). Perhaps I am missing the thrust of your question.So, what specifically, do you, if about to be pulled to despair, rejoice in? That is, what specific aspect do you drink from that is especially satiates your thirst and satisfies you?
