Ted: It was breath-taking. And I wasted it. I mean, how many places have I ruined forever by being there with the wrong girl?
Lily: So come back with the right girl!
Ted: I don't know. I'm starting to think that a person gets a certain allotment of "lighthouses" per lifetime.... I've used all mine up.
Narrator/Future Ted: And that, kids, is the kind of stupid thing you say before you've met the person who hits the reset button on the world. Who makes everything new again. Who makes it seem ridiculous you ever considered settling.

Lots of Christians scoff at romantics who (like me!) go a bit overboard when they start isogeting Christ in everything. However, the principle taught here by Ted Mosby, the romantic of the TV sitcom How I Met Your Mother, holds true for the object of our spiritual worship and affections also.
Don't give up. Jesus makes all things new. Don't settle for less, worshiping idols or men in futile reasoning.
