Confessions: Unlimited Kindness

“For great above the very heavens is Your Kindness… ” (Artscroll Yom Kippur Machzor Ashkenaz, Page 104) There is another verse that says, “Your kindness is great up to the heavens. ”   Why does one verse say above the heavens, and the other just up to the heavens?  One who is concerned only for himself will receive limited kindness.  One who is also thinking of what God wants will receive unlimited kindness.
