my house of cards

my house of cards has fallen down and whither have they gone? everything i hold dear can be destroyed by something i despise. sin is a dream-eater that has devoured many things i hold dear. i have sacrificed portions of my soul to the dark in return for an abyss of guilt. one card is left to me on which i must build again, the ace of hearts. why should it be this particular card? christ is first among all who affirm that they love. his love is supreme and different from other loves. he it is that has the love which may pierce through my grime and dirt to my very soul. previously, i had placed this ‘card’ last and had built the rest before it. i thought it would do well as a crowning jewel. however, christ must be the basis for everything, not the afterthought of everything. i must glorify him before i do anything else. on this foundation i must build my house, my temple, that the powers of hell prevail not against it.
