Forgiveness on behalf of our past can be extremely hard, especially when we have experienced a circumstance where we have been severely wronged. However, the Bible instructs us to forgive from the heart no matter the offense. God's mercy extends deeply to us, so that we can extend mercy deeply to others. In order for God to forgive us, we have to sincerely forgive others. There is liberty in forgiveness. Forgive from the heart.

"For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. 15 But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins."

Matthew 6:14-15
