Ezra 4:24 So the work on the Temple of God in Jerusalem had stopped, and it remained at a standstill until the second year of the reign of King Darius of Persia.
Just because the work on the Temple had stopped, I did not let it go forever. So it is with you, my child. You have stopped working on our relationship for quite some time now, but it will begin again. I will not give up on you. Return to me, rebuild our relationship, and we will celebrate together, as the Israelites celebrated the rebuilding of My Temple. Offer your sacrifices – be obedient in what you know is being asked of you – your sacrifices will be pleasing to Me. I will bless you for them. I will help you, just get out of the way. Acknowledge your inability – your helplessness in these matters – rely on the Holy Spirit and you will be successful. (2005)
