Satisfaction

Satisfaction.

From where does it arise?
Fulfillment of our purpose.

What is our purpose?
To glorify God.

How do we glorify God?
By showing Him to be worthy.

What is worthy?
God Himself is worthy.

So how do we glorify God?
We show Him to be precisely Who He Is.

How do we do this?
We surrender.
-He desires to make us into His Word - the very image of Christ, who is also "the image of the invisible God"

And so this is the greatest exercise of free will: to surrender our freedom to choose to sin, and to take up the freedom of being used by God

So this, then, is satisfaction: To surrender our very being up as God's instrument.
