Forgivness

How am I called to forgive?
Do I forgive others in my life now?

These are questions parading my mind that have been enhanced by bible study this week.

Matthew 18:22
Jesus said to him, "I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven."

Matthew 6:9-13 Our Father 

I have heard from a priest in confession that forgiveness is constant.  This is a hard truth because sometimes I want to say that I have fully forgiven someone, but I soon realize how flawed I am.  It is hard to forgive someone and let go.  But we are also called to learn from our mistakes.

How are we called to forgive in our day to day life? 

God loves and forgives us as shown by the love He poured out on the cross for us.
But in order to receive God's forgiveness, we have to choose to accept the love He gives us.   We also have to repent from the times that we have rejected God and disrupted our relationship with Him through sinning.  

I wonder if our heart's capacity to forgive is directly proportional to our capacity to love.
