There Are Levels of Testimony

First and foremost, I encourage you to think about and answer the following questions in your own time.
"Do you love sharing your Testimony in front of church members and non-members on Fast Sundays?"
"Do you ever feel afraid of not knowing what to say when you feel prompted to share your Testimony?"

"How often do you share your Testimony?" "Is it once a week?" "Is it once a month?"  "Is it once a year?"
"Is it a few times in a week?" "Is it a few times in a month?" "Is it a few times in a year?"

I always love sharing my Testimony often. Whenever I am about to share my Testimony in front of members and non-members on Fast Sundays, I always have a fair idea what I would like to share in my Testimony and I always feel prompted by the Holy Ghost to share my Testimony.

Most other times, I still get prompted to share my Testimony but without a clue of what to say. I kept reflecting a lot of times when I shared my Testimony a lot whenever I was with the Missionaries and I love stating what is true to the non-members and recent converts of the Church at the time.

I had an amazing opportunity to share my Testimony on Sunday evening of Young Single Adult Convention at the Gold Coast and I had another amazing opportunity to share my Testimony again at my new ward Springwood Ward on last Sunday morning. I was looking forward to share my Testimony again today but I did not get the opportunity to share my Testimony but that is okay.

Most times after Church, I always see some church members come and see me to thank me for sharing my Testimony and how my Testimony has helped them. It always makes me feel good. When I go to a different ward to share my Testimony, I always get asked if I was a Returned Missionary. It is always a great feeling.
I love what the Image above says. If you can not see the Image says above, it says "A testimony is more like a dimmer switch that makes possible an almost infinite number of settings between total light and total darkness. Just as there are levels of light, there are levels of testimony as well.

I know.
I believe.
I desire to believe.
I wonder.
I doubt.
I don't believe.

John Bytheway."

Do you think that Image is powerful? In my opinion, I think the Image is powerful. I do strongly encourage everyone to work on their testimonies including you and your Testimony.

If you are able to recognise your Testimony is weak, learn how to strengthen your Testimony. If you do not know how to strengthen your Testimony, I know that you can always strengthen your Testimony by listening to other's Testimonies, reading your scriptures often, praying often, striving your best to go to the Temple often and striving your best to go out with the Missionaries.

If you are able to recognise your Testimony is strong, learn how to keep your Testimony strong. If you do not know how to skeep your Testimony strong, I know that you can always seek opportunities to share your Testimony with your immediate family members, your extended family members, your true friends, etc.

DO NOT FEEL AFRAID OF SHARING YOUR TESTIMONY WITH OTHERS!

Stay Tuned until next time.
