I know God is forgiving, and I joyfully accept His forgiveness. My weakness comes in my inability to forgive myself. The world is constantly reminding me of my wrongdoing. Sadly, the world to which I'm referring is within the church.

Most true children of God has a hard time forgiving themselves, but we must Mark 11:26
(But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.) This scripture is talking about forgiving everyone including ourselves because Romans 2:11 (For there is no respect of persons with God.) I know exactly what you are talking about when you mention the church world, but remember there is no church world with God; ONLY the world and the church! The church starts in you, you are the temple of the living God if you have been Born Again and
1 John 4:4
(Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.) Praying for you
I feel the same as you do about my personal trespasses, they are difficult to lift. There was a person, within a group of people in my realm, that used my failure and misfortune against me, highlighting my shame and shortcomings. As the mocking grew, I became enraged and beat the living daylights out of this person, who was much bigger than me, and just like that the torment stopped. One by one, and out of their own fear, every member of the group became my "friend". Never underestimate the impact of well timed beating upon your enemies.
If you have studied your shortcomings, and understand you will never repeat them, you'll need to pardon yourself, and swiftly move on about your business.

I believe the key is, Is the wrong doing past or presently in your life today?
We all have had wrong doing in the past and still fail short of perfection today. Thing is do we practice it or have we turned from it?
Hopefully I refreshed your comment so others may help.
God bless, and goodnight.
