Step 8: I made a list of the people I have harmed and became willing to make amends to them.

The first seven steps have challenged us to look at ourselves and ask God to help us change. Step eight requires us to evaluate our relationships with others. To make a list of who we have harmed, how we have harmed them and become willing to make restitution to them.

The Bible tells us the two most important commands are: love God and love others. Excuses can be made for avoiding step eight and nine but if you want to experience God's peace in your life you need to learn to give and accept forgiveness in all areas of your life.

Luke 6:31 Do to others as you would like them to do to you.
