Title: The Decision
Summary: Wanting to experience complete submission she answers an add
I know your expecting a story of submission, of denial, of any number of
things, however I cannot in good conscience continue with the stories I've
been posting.  I've been reminded that not only is this not something I
would want my wife or daughter being reading, I wouldn't want them
subjected to most of what I've written.  Many years ago I ask the Lord,
Jesus Christ to come into my life, I believe he accepted me as one of his
children.  And this, posting stories such as I've been posting, is
everything contrary to what his work, his work, his life stands for.  That
said It must follow that it indeed must also be against what I stand for.
I'll agree that I did post stories, I'm totally at fault if anyone read
them and in any way was provoked to do, say, read, or look for something
that only Christ himself can do.  We all have a hole in our lives, in our
hearts, and were looking for something to fill that void.  Something to
fill the need, the desires, that is left unfulfilled without that very part
of our being.  It would seem for many that lust, sex, in whatever form they
come in seems to fill that emptiness, however that is only a very temporary
patch, one that will soon crumble, leaving an even greater gaping hole, a
wounded spirit that we will again try to fill.  Each time we try, our
nature is to search for something bigger, something that will cover that
much more of our lives.  We invariably find ourselves running away from
what we need most, what, somewhere deep inside is calling to us, something
were so afraid to allow, so against we just continue to flee.  That
something we are running from is submission to the one, the only person,
the only being that is capable of filling that void, our very creator,
Christ.  Jesus is the only true filling for that area of our lives, and
asking him into our life is to change us forever.  Though you may resist,
may fight, may run - no matter if it's drugs, depression, sex, whatever the
case, He, Jesus Christ is the only one that can fix us, the only one that
can have such an impact as to forever fill that void.  We may go through
times of doubt, of straying, however that is the wonderful thing about such
a merciful savior, he continues calling, calling out to us to return, and
welcomes us with open arms.  I pray each of you will take the time to at
least read through the remaining text below, If your searching for
something you know is missing in your live, at least see what you can gain.
   God's Simple Plan of Salvation
   My Friend: I am asking you the most important question of life.  Your
joy or your sorrow for all eternity depends upon your answer.  The question
is: Are you saved?  It is not a question of how good you are, nor if you
are a church member, but are you saved?  Are you sure you will go to Heaven
when you die?
God says in order to go to Heaven, you must be born again.  In John 3:7,
Jesus said to Nicodemus, "Ye must be born again."
   In the Bible God gives us the plan of how to be born again which means
to be saved.  His plan is simple!  You can be saved today.  How?
   First, my friend, you must realize you are a sinner.  "For all have
sinned, and come short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23).
   Because you are a sinner, you are condemned to death.  "For the wages
[payment] of sin is death" (Romans 6:23).  This includes eternal separation
from God in Hell.
   " . . .  it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the
judgment" (Hebrews 9:27).
   But God loved you so much He gave His only begotten Son, Jesus, to bear
your sin and die in your place.  " . . .  He hath made Him [Jesus, Who knew
no sin] to be sin for us . . .  that we might be made the righteousness of
God in Him" (2 Corinthians 5:21).
   Jesus had to shed His blood and die.  "For the life of the flesh is in
the blood" (Lev.  17:11).  " . . .  without shedding of blood is no
remission [pardon]" (Hebrews 9:22).
   " . . .  God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet
sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8).
   Although we cannot understand how, God said my sins and your sins were
laid upon Jesus and He died in our place.  He became our substitute.  It is
true.  God cannot lie.
   My friend, "God . . .  commandeth all men everywhere to repent" (Acts
17:30).  This repentance is a change of mind that agrees with God that one
is a sinner, and also agrees with what Jesus did for us on the Cross.
   In Acts 16:30-31, the Philippian jailer asked Paul and Silas: " . . . 
`Sirs, what must I do to be saved?' And they said, `Believe on the Lord
Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved . . . .' "
   Simply believe on Him as the one who bore your sin, died in your place,
was buried, and whom God resurrected.  His resurrection powerfully assures
that the believer can claim everlasting life when Jesus is received as
Savior.
   "But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons
of God, even to them that believe on His name" (John 1:12).
   "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."
(Romans 10:13).
   Whosoever includes you.  Shall be saved means not maybe, nor can, but
shall be saved.
   Surely, you realize you are a sinner.  Right now, wherever you are,
repenting, lift your heart to God in prayer.
   In Luke 18:13, the sinner prayed: "God be merciful to me a sinner." Just
pray: "Oh God, I know I am a sinner.  I believe Jesus was my substitute
when He died on the Cross.  I believe His shed blood, death, burial, and
resurrection were for me.  I now receive Him as my Savior.  I thank You for
the forgiveness of my sins, the gift of salvation and everlasting life,
because of Your merciful grace.  Amen."
Just take God at His word and claim His salvation by faith.  Believe,
and you will be saved.  No church, no lodge, no good works can save you. 
Remember, God does the saving.  All of it!
   God's simple plan of salvation is: You are a sinner.  Therefore, unless
you believe on Jesus Who died in your place, you will spend eternity in
Hell.  If you believe on Him as your crucified, buried, and risen Savior,
you receive forgiveness for all of your sins and His gift of eternal
salvation by faith.
   You say, "Surely, it cannot be that simple." Yes, that simple!  It is
scriptural.  It is God's plan.  My friend, believe on Jesus and receive Him
as Savior today.
   If His plan is not perfectly clear, read this tract over and over,
without laying it down, until you understand it.  Your soul is worth more
than all the world.
   "For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world and
lose his own soul?" (Mark 8:36).
   Be sure you are saved.  If you lose your soul, you miss Heaven and lose
all.  Please!  Let God save you this very moment.
   God's power will save you, keep you saved, and enable you to live a
victorious Christian life.  "There hath no temptation taken you but such as
is common to man: but God is faithful, Who will not suffer you to be
tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a
way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it" (1 Corinthians 10:13).
   Do not trust your feelings.  They change.  Stand on God's promises. 
They never change.  After you are saved, there are three things to practice
daily for spiritual growth:
   * Pray -- you talk to God.
   * Read your Bible -- God talks to you.
   * Witness -- you talk for God.
   You should be baptized in obedience to the Lord Jesus Christ as a public
testimony of your salvation, and then unite with a Bible-believing church
without delay.  "Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord
. . . ." (2 Timothy 1:8)
   "Whosoever therefore shall confess [testify of] Me before men, him will
I confess also before My Father which is in heaven" (Matthew 10:32).
