Step 8

Step Eight is making a list of the people to whom you need to make amends. Some of these people may have hurt you at some point and time, which can make giving an amends to that person difficult. This usually requires forgiveness. We know that God has called us to forgive each other. Matthew 6:14 says, "For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you." Sometimes that forgiveness is really hard because of the pain that has been caused. You are encouraged to pray and ask God to help you forgive that person. Pray every day until you feel at peace and have forgiven that person. Forgiveness frees us from our own prison of bitterness, which can cause us to overeat. Praying you find peace in this step! #12steprecovery #Christianweightloss #step8
