  6. There’s a wideness in God’s mercy, like the wideness of the sea; there’s a kindness in his justice, which is more than liberty.For the love of God is broader than the measure of mans mind; and the heart of the eternal is most wonderfully kind.But we make his love to narrow by false limits of our own; and we magnify his strictness with a zeal he will not own’Frederick Faber
