We are apt to complain, but remember: God’s infinite plan ordered [these trials]... The reason we do not see the wisdom of [the trial] is partly because being creatures we cannot fathom the wisdom of the Creator, and as sinful creatures we are blind and prejudiced. It is also partly because we forget the purpose they ultimately aim toward, and measure them by our own standards. It is also partly through our own pride, because we have such a high opinion of our own wisdom, which is foolishness indeed.
Samuel Willard

The Unsearchable Riches of Christ,
Eph 3:18, 19
The extent implied in the words breadth, length, depth, and height; as far beyond
all other breadths, lengths, depths, and heights, as God is infinitely beyond all
creatures. Some degrees of this love may be known; he the happier who ascends
the highest on Jacob’s ladder; but the full extent can only be known in heaven.
