There is an old tradition song called, The
Lighthouse and the end of the chorus goes
something like this, "If it weren't for that old
Lighthouse?. Where would this ship be?"
In a scene from the movie Finding Bobbie Fisher,
Bobbie is sitting next to his girlfriend under a
lighthouse and she says to him. "This is so
beautiful Bobbie where did you find such a place
with a lighthouse?" and Bobbie replies, "I didn't
find it, it found me."
Years ago the only way ships could tell where
their final destination happen to be was by the
dim light shining in the distance from an old
lighthouse. Today, with technology lighthouses are
mostly landmarks and reminders of what shipping
use to be like. But when you find one, there is
something special about them to experience.
You see we didn't find Jesus he found us first.
He chose us, and he knew that we were something
special when he saw us from a distance. "Ye have
not chosen me, I have chosen you and ordained you
that ye should go and bear forth fruit, and your
fruit shall remain; that whosoever shall ask of
the father in my name, he may give it to you."
John 15:16. Jesus is our lighthouse and when we
experience him there is something beautiful about
that place. We can't take a real lighthouse with
us, but the light that Jesus shines on us and
lights our paths ever where we go can always
remain in our hearts.
There are times when we want to feel special
inside. And most of the time this world won't give
us that hug or encouraging word at that right
moment when we need it. But no matter where we go
or what time it is we can find that lighthouse
shining on us through the love of Jesus Christ. We
are special, we have been chosen by God. When the
world doesn't give you what you want this week,
look for that light in the distance and ask
yourself, ""If it weren't for that old
Lighthouse?. Where would this ship be?"
