The Pancake knows that if it got out of the box, water was added, and it was stirred up there is only one conclusion. It is about to be poured out.
When we get out of our box and begin in repentance a relationship with God, when faith is added, and the Holy Spirit stirs us up we must come to the same conclusion. We are about to be poured out. We are about to be made a blessing.
Notice the pancake does not pour itself out. That would be a spill, a mess the Maker would have to clean up. No, the pancake mix rests in the container the Maker has provided until the Maker's own hand guides the pouring.
We are to act in a similar fashion. We are to be led by the Spirit. We are to be like Jesus when he said: "I tell you the truth, the Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does." (John 5:19) This is the nature of being poured out. This is what it means to be a blessing to others.
We live in a nation of those who must "do something" when needs arise or when hungers exist. We must show them how to live a life that is poured out and not become a spill the Maker or someone else has to clean up.

that is really great and so true, how we have to set an example to others of how God wants and needs us to be. unfortunately, those examples are not followed by others and that is the toughest challenge in this world, showing and telling people how much God loves them, no matter what their life circumstance, God will never fail you, He is always there, through each struggle, sending His people to help you cope, to teach you faith and hope, to show you that YOU matter to God, YOU are needed by God, YOU are His child and NOTHING will ever change that. how else do we get this message out to this world other than setting examples of God's love for us? i cannot think of any other way. if only the world would believe and become God's people, what an amazing place this world would be!
