"A testimony is a spiritual witness given to an individual by the Holy Ghost." Over time and through prayer, scripture study, and service we can develop a testimony of gospel principles.
********** A Large Fire Comes from Small Kindling
"You may have heard a testimony compared to a burning fire before, but think about how a fire is built.
If you try to light a big log, it probably won’t catch fire. You have to have some sort of kindling, like smaller sticks or leaves, to get the fire going. Likewise, small experiences can kindle the fire of your testimony.
Sometimes people may put lighter fluid on a log, which makes the flames become bright, but once the lighter fluid is burned, the fire dies back down because it was the lighter fluid and not the log burning. Your testimony may sometimes be flamed by a strong spiritual experience, but that may not be enough to maintain a constantly burning testimony.
Even if you have a nice fire burning, it will eventually die if you don’t continue to put wood on it. In like manner, you must continue to feed the fire of your testimony so that it doesn’t smolder out."
