That example of Jude, I've thought about that when I was mad that someone took my money and then I thought: oh who cares? Jesus knew that he stole the money and He just let him.

Or ..that is to say.. He never picked up and took offence .. He chose not to become offended by it.
Also,he knew god is all providence so no one can take from you anything that god doesnt already have for us.
Elsewhere the scriptures speak of ..suffering the loss of all your possessions joyfully? ..must recheck that.
The ability to fully forgive then..is linked with faith in the eternal nature of god and his ability to make all thing right again..having that confidence in him empowers us to forgive properly.
