Your testimony is never ending

I've been doing a lot of thinking about my testimony lately.  I’ve always thought that my testimony wasn’t important or special.  I never thought that I had much of a story because I come from a Christian home and never had a dramatic, life changing experience.  I never went through a rebellious stage, I never turned from God and I never intentionally set out to disobey my parents.  I've believed in Jesus my entire life and always knew I was going to devote my life to Him.  So why is my story important?    After doing some thinking on all of this I realized that your testimony doesn't have to stop after you have accepted Christ into your heart.  Your testimony is how others see God through you in your life.  It is never ending.  I pray almost every day that I will be a good example and a good testimony to others.  I want people to see Jesus through me and in me.  I want them to know that I am who I am because of Him.  I shouldn't receive any praise or glory.  My testimony doesn't end that day I asked Jesus into my heart.  My testimony is never ending.  My testimony includes every trial and victory that the Lord has carried me through.  It's His footprints on my heart.  It's His evidence in my life.

1 John 5:11-12

"And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in the Son.  Whoever does not have the son of God does not have life."
