Hi, I'm Beverley Joy of Simply Story Poetry. I wrote this Christian poem in 2014 after writing my poem "Christ Lives in Me.' I was riddled with guilt and shame over my old life and struggling to believe Isaiah 43:25 and Psalm 103:12. Over time, with much prayer and study of God's Word, I was able to believe, without a doubt, that God has indeed, forgiven and separated me from my sin as far as the...

Hi. I'm Beverley Joy of Simply Story Poetry. This poem says thank you to the family and friends who selflessly help families who are suffering from loss or hardship.

Hi, I'm Beverley Joy of Simply Story Poetry. I wrote this Christian devotional poem today in response to conversations I had this week with some dear sisters in Christ.

Hi, I'm Beverley Joy of Simply Story Poetry. This Christian devotional poem takes a look at the verse Isaiah 40:31a. It explored the word 'wait'.

Hi, I'm Beverley Joy of Simply Story Poetry. I wrote this poem in 2013 and is based ONLY around a disagreement and argument within a family or friendship in which loved ones are angry and hurt by actions and words from both sides and where it is possible to mend relationships. This poem is NOT about abusive, destructive relationships which, from my own experience, require professional and/or deep...

Hi, I'm Beverley Joy of Simply Story Poetry. I wrote this Christian poem in the first few months after coming back to my Christian faith. The first sermon that I heard, in the first church service that I attended in 30 years, was titled 'Christ lives in you.' I was so nervous about falling back into my old way of life. I studied the Bible verses and prayed this poem daily for several weeks until I...

Hi I'm Beverley Joy of Simply Story Poetry. This Christian poem is based on Psalm 23. I wrote it in 2014.

The Woman at the well Bible story. This Christian poem is based on The Story of the Woman at the Well in John 4:7-30, 39-45. I wrote it while I was a Prison Chaplain in a Women's Prison.
