READ: Ezekiel 18:26-27
26 If a righteous person turns from their righteousness and commits sin, they will die for it; because of the sin they have committed they will die. 27 But if a wicked person turns away from the wickedness they have committed and does what is just and right, they will save their life.
Open Heaven For Teens – 24 July 2025 MESSAGE
There is a distinction between remembering past situations and refusing to forgive people for their wrongdoings. When someone has been traumatised through abuse or violence, the painful memories can last for years, but if you forgive your offender(s), the healing process may be faster.
One of the reasons people keep records of wrongs is so that they can get revenge. Some people go as far as planning their revenge carefully and striking the offender when he or she least expects it. This is ungodly and should not be practised by a child of God. Our God is always forgiving; He never keeps records of wrongs. Imagine what would happen to the world, including you, if God keeps records of wrongs. Therefore, if you are His child, you should let go of the wrongs people do to you, no matter how painful they may be.
A practical way to do this is to pour your heart to God in sincerity – tell Him how hurt and angry you are. Afterwards, plead that He takes the pain away and sends His peace into your heart. If you do this, you will find it easy to forgive and let go of the wrongs done to you. This is what I do, and it works for me. If God has never failed me, He will not fail you.
ACTION POINT
Forgive anyone who might have hurt you today.

HYMN 35
‘TIS SO SWEET TO TRUST IN JESUS
1. ’Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus,
Just to take Him at His Word;
Just to rest upon His promise;
Just to know, “Thus saith the Lord.”
Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him!
How I’ve proved Him o’er and o’er!
Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus!
O for grace to trust Him more!
2. O how sweet to trust in Jesus,
Just to trust His cleansing blood;
And in simple faith to plunge me
’Neath the healing, cleansing flood!
3. Yes, ’tis sweet to trust in Jesus,
Just from sin and self to cease;
Just from Jesus simply taking
Life and rest, and joy and peace.
4. I’m so glad I learn’d to trust Thee,
Precious Jesus, Savior, Friend,
And I know that Thou art with me,
Wilt be with me to the end.
