I was recently asked to give my testimony and I panicked because I didn’t think I had one — at least, not a good one. But then I went to jury duty, and during the voir dire the lawyers explained about the witnesses and that all they are supposed to do is tell what they have seen and/or heard. In John 3 (I think vs. 11) it says “we testify to what we have seen”, and then later in I John 5 it says “this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his son”. So I got to thinking that perhaps we have the wrong idea about our testimonies.

For many years I have thought (and sometimes have been told) that my testimony was supposed to be about how bad I was and how good God was to save me from myself. But I’m starting to realize our testimony should be about what we have seen God do, which has everything to do with him and nothing to do with us. And in the process, we may begin to develop a healthier identity in Christ.

That’s my two cents anyway.”
