When we come near the light, all the darkness around us, shall disappears.

About This Quote

When we come near the light, all the darkness around us, shall disappears. This quote is actually a quote of Solomon’s that he said to his son, Rehoboam. It says that when people come close to God they will be overcome by the power of God and all their problems will be solved. People are always afraid of light because they are afraid of being blinded or losing their eyesight.

But Jesus has said “I am the light of the world” (John 8:12). Jesus Christ is the light of the world, but He does not force His light upon you, but it shines naturally on you. When you accept this light, the darkness around you will disappear just like how it is described in this quote.
