Open a vein and bleed the words of this Lazaroo aloud to God:

“King Cyrus brought out the articles belonging to the temple of the LORD, which Nebuchadnezzar had carried away from Jerusalem and had placed in the temple of his god.”
(Ezra 1:7)

That had to be an amazing feeling for Your people, Jesus –

to have something that dear, meaningful and precious –
something that had been outrageously desecrated

something they had lost
and thought they would never see again

returned to its rightful place.

All because of You!

You moved on the heart of this ancient Iranian ruler to do something totally unexpected

and a great wrong was made right.

LORD…

there is something else dear, meaningful and precious
something I’ve lost that has been desecrated

and fear will never be mine again.

I know I don’t deserve a second chance.

But in your mercy

if it is best

would you

for me

work that miracle of restoration once again?
