We could all learn a thing or two from Jonathan Edwards. Like: Making Frequent Self-Examination: Edwards pledged to examine carefully, and constantly what caused him to doubt of the love of God (#25 of his 70 resolutions). He vowed to inquire every night.... what sin I have committed (#37 of his 70 resolutions) and to ask myself at the end of every day, week, month, and year...... {how he could have} done better (#41 of his 70 resolutions). He specifically set himself to examine strictly every week his temper (#47 of his 70 resolutions). He pledged to look, with strictest scrutiny, into the condition of his soul for true interest in Christ (#48 of his 70 resolutions). If he feared misfortune, he determined to examine whether I have done my duty (#57 of his 70 resolutions). When his feelings were out of order or he was uneasy, he determined that he would subject myself to the strictest examination (#60 of his 70 resolutions).
