can i get a witness?

mike payne just spoke about “needing a witness” — someone who watches and knows what it is that we do.

he referenced some movie i’ve never heard of, “shall we dance?” or something, but his point was clear to me:

i need to belong to someone — better to belong to god than any other person.

we in the christian world speak of being a witness but we rarely speak of how we each need a witness, but we do.

we need to feel like we are known, and accepted.

we want — we need — someone to witness our whole being, and love us for it.
