Metanoia ... Surrender

Today's word is "metanoia" ... met-uh-NOI-uh ... a profound, usually spiritual, transformation; conversion. (Dictionary.com)

Surrender
From deep darkness into light,
From the selfish to the good,
(That clinging care for only self),
Now metanoia's understood.

From the ravaged to the woven,
Fear and pain to healing's peace,
Terror turned to calm prevailing,
From confusion to release.

This the promise of forgiveness,
This the joy of given grace,
In the arms of love's revealing,
Rest and purpose interlace.
