‘Tis not God’s design that men should obtain assurance in any other way, than by mortifying corruption, and increasing in grace, and obtaining the lively exercises of it. And although self-examination be a duty of great use and importance, and by no means to be neglected; yet it is not the principal means, by which the saints do get satisfaction of their good estate. Assurance is not to be obtained so much by self-examination, as by action.
Jonathan Edwards

Mercedes Benz

Carlson was charged with stealing a Mercedes Benz, and after a long trial,
the jury aquitted him. Later that day Carlson came back to the judge who
had presided at the hearing.

"Your honor," he said, "I wanna get out a warrant for that dirty lawyer of
mine."

"Why?" asked the judge. "He won your aquittal. What do you want to have
him arrested for?"

"Well, your honor," replied Carlson, "I didn't have the money to pay his
fee, so he went and took the car I stole."
