You've gone from a mixed up bunch of stuff in a box to finding your place in your Maker's home. You were dry and useless but the missing ingredient was added to your life. You were stirred up and everything began to come together. Your Maker poured you out, your service only a matter of time.
You faced the heat and in your Maker's hands you were transformed. Everybody could see the change in you. This is the moment for which you were made.
The Maker's spatula slides beneath you. You are lifted up and set down for your Maker's pleasure. You are crowned with sweet syrup. The Parable of the Pancake is coming to its final stage. You are being served.
The Apostle Paul shared this moment with his disciple and son in the faith, Timothy. "For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought a good fight, I have finished [my] course, I have kept the faith. Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing." (II Timothy 4: 4-6)
This is the aim of every disciple: fulfill our course and receive the crowning approval of our Maker. This is what we learn when we understand the Parable of the Pancake!
