"Just a Closer Walk with Thee" is a traditional #gospel song and #jazzStandard that has been performed and recorded by many artists. Performed as either an instrumental or vocal, "A Closer Walk" is perhaps the most frequently played number in the #hymn and #dirge section of #traditionalNewOrleansJazz funerals. The title and lyrics of the song allude to the Biblical passage from #2Corinthians 5:7 which states, "We walk by faith, not by sight" and #James 4:8.

We look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.

"Though our Lord Jesus Christ was rich, he became poor, so that by his poverty you might become rich."
#AlleluiaVerse for today's Mass.If you cannot recognize the image of God in the poor, the immigrant, the outcast, the beggar, the "other," ... then you'll miss the presence of God elsewhere in the liturgy, in the Word, in your heart, in your neighbor.

If we are having trouble, it is for your sake! We want you to receive encouragement and be saved. 2 Corinthians 1.6a IEB.
The end goal of Christ and of his servants is always the salvation of others.

For even when we came into Macedonia, our body had no rest at all, but we were troubled in every way—struggles from the outside, fears from within. 2 Corinthians 7.5 NET.
The gospel of Christ involves hardship. No one can avoid it. Not even the apostle Paulo could. Troubles are part and parcel of announcing Christ’s salvation.
