Surrender Series: Blessings In The Midst of Surrender

Nicole Joseph-Chin

Having built and strengthened our surrender muscles, it’s time to talk about some of the blessings that abound and more importantly, how we can identify our blessings when they present before us.

Let’s ponder the three Ds in the surrender journey.

• Disappointments – these are blessings in disguise and sometimes act as a beacon for better blessings that are on the horizon
• Delays – there is truth in the expression ‘delayed but not denied’ and this reshapes our entire perspective on surrender and waiting.
• Detours – have you ever been so close to what you thought was your destination, only to find there was construction underway and you had to be rerouted or cancel plans?

These moments are the ones that nudge us until we get to master surrender.

In Genesis 12:2. we are reminded of all the blessings that are in store for us and in these moments, we can trust the many pathways to surrender.

In the meantime, and whilst our personal mastery  of relearning surrender is underway, are you ready to surrender?
