I just read a short article on Elder Ballard's thoughts on helping a testimony continue to grow. He said our testimonies need to constantly be nourished in order for us to keep them.
It reminded me a lot of a plant. You can't keep a plant alive by simply keeping it in your home. You have to water it. Put it in the sun. It's the same with our testimonies. Even though I know I have one, I can't just keep it to myself, or not do my regular scripture study, or go to church on a regular basis. I need all of that in order for my testimony to continue to grow. And I want it to grow! Everytime I read the scriptures, or learn something new (which is daily, I think) I feel that much closer to my Heavenly Father, and feel his love even stronger than before. It's because of the testimony I have in Him and Jesus Christ that I can find happiness every day. That I have a purpose in this life, and know that I will have a purpose in this next life as well.
