Lesson 16 – Amends Romans 12:1-21 …Foundational Christian Living   Principle 6: Evaluate all my relationships.  Offer forgiveness to those who have hurt me and make amends for harm I 've done to others, except when to do so would harm them or others.   Step 8: We made a list of all persons we had harmed and became willing to make amends to them all.

Don't expect anything back.       D (Philippians 2:4) Do it at the Right Time – This step not only requires courage, good judgment, and willingness, but, a careful sense of timing.  Pray, pray and pray.     S (Romans 12:18) Start Living the Promises of Recovery – If we work this step to the best of our ability, we will know a new freedom and happiness, with no regrets.       AMENDS LIST   I OWE AMENDS TO:                  I NEED TO FORGIVE: 1) __________________            1) __________________ 2) __________________            2) __________________ 3) __________________            3) __________________ 4) __________________            4) __________________ 5) __________________            5) __________________ 6) __________________            6) __________________ 7) __________________            7) __________________ 8) __________________            8) __________________ 9) __________________            9) __________________ 10) _________________            10) _________________
