tobehis: The BeltI have always loved a leather belt. The snapping, the slipping through the loops, especially in a quick and hurried way…Master mentioned He had a nice leather belt and I wanted Him to use it.Lying flat on my stomach, after a punishment session with the paddle, after a few licks with the belt that were hard, but not serious, He got to business.“You’re getting ten very hard licks with this belt. Do not move and do not make a sound. If you do, we will start over. Do you understand?”A fearful, “Yes, Sir,” and He began.I took them well, I think. I cried out as soon as number ten hit. I thought we were done. I was breathless and I couldn’t believe how much it hurt.“I’m going to give you ten more. Same thing. If you move or make a noise, I will start over.”My brain screamed. Ten more? This belt is heavy, cruel, it sears through my soul. A tearful, “Yes, Sir,” and He began again.He got to five and I broke. I cried, “I can’t, I’m so sorry, it’s so bad, I can’t.” I went into a fetal position and rubbed my thighs and cried and felt shameful.He took control instantly and said, “On your knees, in front of me, get right here, right now.” I looked at His face through blurry tears. “Good girl. You did not fail because you weren’t able to take those. That’s my good girl. You know why you didn’t fail?”“No,” (tears) “Sir.”“Because you gave me your all, didn’t you? You did your best. You gave me 100% effort and took every lick of that that you could handle, didn’t you?”“Yes, Sir, I did, I’m sorry…” (starting to ramble)“Hush. There’s a lesson to be learned here. I don’t expect perfection. But I do expect you to give me your all. All that you can. ‘All for you, Sir.’”“All for You, Sir.” Devotional Training: Give your all, always. -- source link
