「因為在神，沒有一句話是不可能的。」－路加福音1:37
山上不僅長年盤據了厚重的積雪，在白日的陽光與夜晚寒霜的交互作用下，厚雪邊緣更都結了層層的冰；在這種環境下，卻有花朵仍能衝破冰層，開放在嚴寒的山中。
夏天來到時，這種櫻草科的植物會舒展葉面，在地上飢渴地享受陽光的能量。牠將能量積存在根部，以此度過漫長寒冬；等到春天來臨，牠甦醒過來，從小小的芽中散發出熱能，將頭上的冰雪融出一個小小圓頂。
接著，牠頂著一頂鐘形的冰殼氣罩，一天天越長越高。等到花苞順利長成，牠擺脫了冰殼，重新回到陽光下。牠淡紫的花瓣如同水晶般的，像雪花一同發光閃爍，彷彿身上仍帶著成長時搏鬥的痕跡。
這種惹人憐的小花在我們心中所激起的迴盪，是山腳下溫暖草皮上美麗的花朵所望塵莫及的。
我們都愛看到不可能的事能夠成真；神也是如此。
你應當咬緊牙關撐到最後，丟棄所有攔阻神聖工作的天然想法，並盡你所能，將所有的難處毫無顧忌地壓在神身上。
你永遠無法憑自己越過「不可能」的邊線，你需要的乃是運用信心轉向神，因為祂正是結束所有「不可能」的神。

Far up in the Alpine hollows, year by year God works one of His marvels. The snow-patches lie there, frozen with ice at their edge from the strife of sunny days and frosty nights; and through that ice-crust come, unscathed, flowers that bloom.
"For with God nothing shall be impossible" (Luke 1:37).
Back in the days of the by-gone summer, the little soldanelle plant spread its leaves wide and flat on the ground, to drink in the sun-rays, and it kept them stored in the root through the winter. Then spring came, and stirred the pulses even below the snow-shroud, and as it sprouted, warmth was given out in such strange measure that it thawed a little dome in the snow above its head.
Higher and higher it grew and always above it rose the bell of air, till the flower-bud formed safely within it: and at last the icy covering of the air-bell gave way and let the blossom through into the sunshine, the crystalline texture of its mauve petals sparkling like snow itself as if it bore the traces of the flight through which it had come.
And the fragile thing rings an echo in our hearts that none of the jewel-like flowers nestled in the warm turf on the slopes below could waken. We love to see the impossible done. And so does God.
Face it out to the end, cast away every shadow of hope on the human side as an absolute hindrance to the Divine, heap up all the difficulties together recklessly, and pile as many more on as you can find; you cannot get beyond the blessed climax of impossibility. Let faith swing out to Him. He is the God of the impossible. --Selected
