Step 9:
We made direct amends to such people whenever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.
Matthew 5:23-24 Therefore, if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave
your gift there in front of the altar. First go and be reconciled to your brother; then come and offer your gift.
Luke 6:38 (NLT) “If you give, you will receive. Your gift will return to you in full measure, pressed down,
shaken together to make room for more, and running over. Whatever measure you use in giving—large or small—it
will be used to measure what is given back to you."

Step 9: Be diligent
to pursue forgiveness whenever possible.
Therefore, if
you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift there
in front of the altar. First go and be reconciled to your brother; then come and offer your gift. Matthew 5:23-24
When we make amends, we have to be careful we do not further injure people or cause strife. © 1990, 2008, Richard .J. Krejcir Ph.D. Discipleship Tools www.discipleshiptools.org/
