When we are on the beach we only see a small part of the ocean. However, we know that there is much more beyond the horizon. We only see a small part of God's great love, a few jewels of His great riches, but we know that there is much more beyond the horizon. The best is yet to come, when we see Jesus face-to-face.

God dealt with our whole situation on the cross there is nothing left for you to settle. Just say to Him, 'Lord, I cannot forgive and I will no longer try to do it but I trust that You in me will do it. I can't forgive and love but I trust that You will forgive and love in my place and that You will do these things in me.'
