“A testimony is not given for temporary use. This gift from
our loving Heavenly Father is meant to be eternal because the giver is eternal.
A testimony should not have an expiration date. It should not weaken or
diminish because something in my life has changed or something in the world has
changed. It should get stronger because, like the servant’s talents in the
parable of the talents, my testimony is a gift to be multiplied—not buried. Looking
back on the difficult days of testing and persecution I went through as a child
has helped me get to the place where I now know for myself. I not only believe,
hope, or trust, even though these are significant particles of faith on the
pathway to a sure witness. I commend you for making your own way by asking
questions, studying, praying, fasting, and pondering. Please don’t stop. It is
worth every effort to pursue this path to testimony.” – Elder Kevin G. Brown
