Hi, I'm Beverley Joy of simply Story Poetry. Some stories of women in the Bible touch on sensitive women's health issues and this story is one of them. In these modern days, women in the developed world have access to many medical solutions and products to alleviate bleeding issues like menstrual periods, haemorrhages, fibroids and menopause to name a common few. But not so today in third world or wartorn countries and neither were they available back in the first century when Jesus was ministering on earth. This poem is based on the story of The Woman With The Bleeding Issue which is found in the Bible in Mark Chapter 5 verses 21-33. This story tells of the love and care Jesus has toward women.

But not so today in third world or wartorn countries and neither were they available back in the first century when Jesus was ministering on earth. She not only faced the physical effects but also Jewish religious beliefs around women's bleeding listed in Leviticus Chapter 15 verses 19-30.
