YOU SHALL KNOW THE TRUTH
"It is impossible to exaggerate the goodness of GOD."
Part of the reason that it is impossible to exaggerate the goodness of GOD is because it is impossible to understand the goodness of GOD.
Our point of reference for the word "goodness" is limited to that which
our finite minds have been able to grasp. Because GOD'S goodness is
infinite, we are completely limited in our scope.
When we contemplate any of the attributes of the HOLY ONE, we are hemmed in by our own understanding of those attributes.
What is truth to us, but our limited grasp of it.
What is mercy to us, but our limited grasp of it.
What is love to us, but our limited grasp of it.
What can we really know of these or of anything that makes GOD who HE is?
What we can know is what our finite mind can grasp of HIS INFINITE WONDER.
How limited is our finite grasp of HIS INFINITE WONDER?
Our finite grasp is too limited for us to even know the extent of what we do not know!
With our understanding of the reality of our extremely limited understanding, we can appropriate all of HIS TRUTH, all of HIMSELF that HE reveals to us ... and we can trust HIM for everything HE has not yet revealed.
We cannot exaggerate HIS willingness to unveil the unknown to us at HIS appointed time, for HIS goodness demands that HE fulfill HIS promises.

It wasn't the nails that kept Jesus on the cross, it was His love for us.
