#obedience

LIVE

The prophet Samuel tells the people of Israel that sacrifices and burnt offerings are not what God desires most. What God is really looking for from His people is obedience, not showing off with public spectacles of religion. [Centuries later,] God [still] asks us simply to obey Him, [except now He has also given us,] to follow, Jesus’ model of love, mercy and humility. [His example of obedience is perfect; we need only imitate Him through love. We couldn’t have simpler directions! Nevertheless,] we live in a time when churches can get sidetracked [from simplicity, becoming preoccupied] with putting on events or running programmes that are focused ‘inwards’– [prioritizing their own immediate needs over any acts of mercy]. Perhaps these are the bold 'burnt offerings’ of today? [After all, no matter how impressive the architecture, financial resources, public image, or social life of our church may be, if these things are not being used to actively obey God’s person-focused commandments, they mean nothing to Him.]

[Today, consider God’s true wants from us and ask:] How do we live out our faith in a practical way that pleases God most? [Have we done so today?] How do we become outward-facing churches and Christians, [making the service of God and His people the ultimate motive and end goal of all our choices?] God is looking for Christians who are willing to reach out to those in need [whenever we encounter their needs, not just when it’s 'convenient’]. How do you respond when you see those who are a pariah, [someone rejected or ridiculed even by fellow members of the faith? How do you meet the sick, the imprisoned, the homeless, the addict, the refugee? How do you act to soothe those who are afraid, lost, hopeless, disabled,] poor or in pain? [Do you see them all as people, or as projects for your pride? We cannot please God if we are thinking about what will make us look good.] What would it look like for you to look outwards and [selflessly] serve those who are in need of God’s love? After all, how we serve the poor and follow the example of Jesus is the real litmus test for churches and for us as individual Christians. [God’s commandments are to love and serve one another, not to help ourselves].

Mercy Ships

To love Jesus means to keep His commandments. [Such keeping] is not a matter of mere obedience but of loving imitation. [Try as one might, it is impossible to honestly obey anyone unless one also loves them; neither pride nor indifference can even feign the virtues of humility and dedication required to observe another’s commands. On the other hand,] if I love a person, I want to keep that person’s commandments, both out of loyalty and out of respect for that person’s qualities: [for as one who loves will easily discern,] the commandments [given] will reveal and mirror that person’s qualities. So, the Law given by Moses reveals God’s nature by what He commands. Just so, the actions of Jesus reveal His and the Father’s nature: He heals, He loves, He judges, He forgives, He commands. To obey the commands [given by our loving God] is a response in love, [not legalism. To keep them, like a gift, is the natural and necessary consequence of our personal relationship to Him]: we need to do just that.

Getting off Scott free?

He isn’t one to punish me. It’s just not his way. He doesn’t spank me or cause me pain or give me lines.

(I get spanked sometimes. But not as a punishment)

Sometimes I wish he would. I think I’d respond well to punishment. But when I disappoint him. Oh the pain. I really struggle to deal with that. To see disappointment in his eyes. I work tirelessly to make him happy with me again.

We discussed my not touching earlier

I asked if fearing him was a good thing. He said No, but it’s good motivation.

I worry so much about getting it wrong. About upsetting him. When I should be focused on one thing. What is it he wants.

What he wants is for me to not touch myself. How hard can that be? I want it too. I want what he wants generally. So it’s what we want really.

I just need to stop worrying about failure and upsetting him and focus on doing what he wants.

Don’t touch. That’s all he wants.

I don’t think he always realises how much the little things he says helps refocus me.

A submissives mind like mine analyses everything when it’s really that simple.

Just do what he wants.

Slave

What is a slavegirl? A girl who is owned. A girl who devotes her life exclusively and completely to bringing pleasure to her Master. A girl who has no desires of her own except to please her Master.


It is an ideal impossible to reach in its perfection. Yet, for centuries men have cultivated the arts by which slavegirls can be trained, indoctrinated, conditioned to serve. Such a depth of submission is nearly impossible to force upon a girl, although it can be done. The best training is aimed more at bringing out the natural drives and inclinations that reside within the heart of every girl to submit to a Master.


The central form of service to a Master is bringing Him sexual pleasure. And the primary form of sexual service a girl can give to her Master is the use of her mouth.


Much has been written about cocksucking from the mechanical perspectives. Much of my own writing includes views on the subject, so I will not dwell long on that aspect. What is far more subtle, far more significant, is the attitude of the slavegirl.


A slavegirl learns to yield her body to her Master’s pleasure. She does not “fuck”, but offers up her body to be fucked. And when her Master decides to take her body, she does everything in her power to make her body pleasing for him.


Similarly, she yields her mouth to her Master’s pleasure. Her Master may command her to suck His cock, but the slavegirl always yields her efforts to His will, bending to His needs and urges, following His responses, keeping herself fully available for His complete use.


Free women sometimes suck cock, but the way in which they do so is not the same as that of a slavegirl. The free woman uses her hands, sometimes doing the bulk of the necessary stimulation with those hands, leaving her mouth to caress only the very tip of the cock. And the free woman seeks to control the speed, depth of penetration and force with which her man takes his pleasure, even holding him back to restrict his penetration to limits she finds comfortable and acceptable.


Such an approach is totally unacceptable for a trained slavegirl.


First, cocksucking in its purest form is properly done with only the mouth. A well-trained slavegirl will learn to take the entire length of her Master’s cock into her throat without a hint of gagging, never does anything to even suggest He withhold His penetration of her mouth and throat, yields her mouth completely for His use. Likewise, while a free woman may sometimes attempt to speed the process, making Him come at her whim, the slavegirl knows her duty is to do all she can to prolong and maximize her Master’s pleasure, until He Himself decides He wishes to ejaculate.


Some free women swallow their man’s come…others spit it out or allow it to be dropped on her body or on the bed sheets or on the floor. A slavegirl always swallows, unless it is her Master’s wish to come on her face or body. And in such a case, she will wear His come with both the pride of a slavegirl and the humiliation of a girl who has been soiled by her Master, until she is permitted to clean herself.


The ideal blowjob from a slavegirl is delivered with her hands bound or chained behind her back or where they will be out of the way. They have no part in the process, unless it is her Master’s wish she use her hands. If she is permitted, her hands will ONLY serve to caress, to stimulate or to invite deeper penetration. Should her Master thrust harder into her mouth or throat than she is able to gracefully accept, she might be punished or subjected to training for that failure. But if she actively resists her use by attempting to push her Master back, that would earn her a much more severe punishment. 


Many times she will be required to suck his cock while in much more restrictive bondage, sometimes punishing bondage. This takes none of the responsibility away from the slavegirl to bring him complete pleasure, using whatever movement her bonds allow to serve Him. If those bonds are uncomfortable or painful, there is nothing wrong with displaying that discomfort or pain, but the slavegirl should never let the ordeal prevent her from providing Him with pleasure. In fact, if a slavegirl knows her suffering in severe bondage brings her Master great pleasure, it is her responsibility to beg to be bound, to hope He agrees to bind her and to revel in happiness that He has chosen to take a greater degree of pleasure from her increased suffering.


When the slavegirl finishes sucking her Master’s cock, she always has an additional duty–that of cleaning Him. Trained slavegirls ALWAYS clean their Master’s cocks after they take pleasure, regardless of which of her holes He uses, and always with their mouths. They begin by continuing to suck, but more gently and soothing, since He has just taken His pleasure. From there, she proceeds to licking the shaft, down towards the base, and from there she licks his body around the base of His cock, down to His entire ball sac, and finally licks behind the balls and up through the crack of His ass to pick up every bit of sweat that might have accumulated. Done well, this will be soothing for Him, helping Him to relax, perhaps even stimulating him to further activity.


What is the purpose of a slavegirl’s mouth?


At the top of the list is bringing pleasure to her Master by sucking his cock, or submitting her mouth to be fucked by him, swallowing his load when done, as if it was nectar from the Gods, or wearing it proudly if He should choose to come on her face or body, then soothing His cock with that mouth to relax Him after His pleasure, and finally cleaning His body with her mouth when finished, to leave him pristine and fresh as well as satisfied and relaxed.


The slavegirl who takes these duties to heart and makes them her top priority in life knows in her heart the meaning of submission and will bring her Master the greatest pleasure a girl can give.

We learn ethics, but we don’t study it. We learn it by experience. Ethics is not a word to be explained by a simple “who”, “what”, “when”, and “where”, but to be answered by “how” and “why”. It teaches us right from wrong, moral from immoral. In life, we gain knowledge through experiences. Experience is what we get in life. Without it, we have nothing to live for. Living a life without experience is useless, senseless. What do we have to live for? Nothing. For us to learn, we should experience first. Experience is the best teacher. It teaches us life. It doesn’t tell us what life is, but tells us how life is. Experiences can be good or bad. Yes, we experience both to have a balanced life. According to Albert Einstein, it’s just like riding a bicycle. In order to stay balance, we should keep moving. And by moving, we keep on experiencing. Through experiences in life, we learn that what may come and go, ethics is part of life. A just example to this topic is love. Do we study love? No. We don’t study it because it cannot be studied. In order to know love, we need to feel it. And by feeling it, we would learn and understand what love is. Another example, though it is still under the category of love, is how to love and be loved. We also don’t study those. We never study  those. There are no rules, such as a step-by-step procedure, for  us to carry out or to take orders from. Does an accepted and proven study shows that we should and that we are obliged? None. Simply because it cannot be. Not all things in life are guaranteed for us to follow and study in order to acquire and gain knowledge. There are certain things that are bound for us to learn without the sense of studying, but must be taught by and through experiences in life. With these, we learn ethics.
