You probably grew up singing about a fountain flowing deep and wide. That fountain, though not explicit, is the fountain of grace. Did you know why we need a fountain grace to flow deep and wide? Because of the depth and width of our selfishness.
The vein of narcissism runs deep and wide through our core. We are born with a streak of darkness and sin so deep only a deeper and wider fountain of grace can overcome it.
"Moreover the law entered that offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace abounded much more,..." (Romans 5:20)
The valley of our selfishness is nowhere near as deep as the valley of grace. The chasm of our narcissism is nowhere near as wide as the bridge of mercy.
"For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great is His mercy toward those who fear Him; as far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us." (Psalm103:11,12)
God's forgiveness is deeper than deep, wider than wide.
