The Topic of Teenagers Open Heavens for Wednesday 22nd April 2026 Is “Keeping a Grudge?”
MEMORISE: (Ephesians 4:32)
And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.
READ: Matthew 18:21-35 (KJV)
Holding on to a grudge is like carrying a heavy backpack everywhere one goes. The longer it is held on to, the heavier it feels. If a fellow is betrayed by a friend, hurt by a sibling or parent, or insulted in public, it is normal for the person to feel hurt. However, when he or she refuses to forgive the offender, the grudge will weigh him or her down.
Many people ask me how I manage to handle so many responsibilities, even at my old age, and I always tell them it is the grace of God. Also, I ‘travel light’; I don’t carry weights in my heart. When people offend me, I ask God for the grace to forgive them quickly so they don’t slow me down with the things I have to do.
Keeping a grudge can be compared to two people who are tied together by a rope. Whenever one of them wants to move forward, the other holds on to the rope tightly. The longer they remain in that position, the more time passes by, and they will never achieve their goal.
My dear child, when you feel hurt, you may not feel like forgiving the fellow who hurt you right away, but if you surrender your hurt to God, He will give you peace. Rather than holding on to a grudge, pray for the person who hurt you, and ask God to help you release the hurt. I pray that God will grant you a forgiving heart, in Jesus’ name.
ACTION POINT:
For the next ten minutes, pray sincerely for anyone who has hurt you in the past.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:
Luke 3, Joshua 9-10
HYMNAL:
Hymn 8 – Through the love of God our Saviour
