神創造的世界十分奇妙,即使是一種看來毫不起眼的花,都會有重要作用。余文正弟兄藉此提醒我們,不要看輕自己,只要我們盡才分,在崗位上盡忠、努力,一樣是可敬的。
你可能從未留意過它——
一朵紫色的小花,靜靜地依附在加州漢密爾頓山乾燥貧瘠的山坡上。
它不為了吸引目光而綻放,
它盛開,是因為那是祂造它的心意。
這朵漢密爾頓珠寶花(Mount Hamilton Jewelflower),
全世界只在美國加州聖塔克拉拉縣的幾個角落悄悄存在。
它很小,只有八、九厘米高,
生長在強風、乾燥與碎石遍地的環境中,
一年一度,完成自己的使命。
它沒有高大挺拔的身軀,
也不鋪天蓋地地開滿山坡。
但它有它的角色。
它供應蜜源給授粉昆蟲,
保護土壤、支持生態,
在無人注意的角落裡,持續發揮它的價值。
讀到它的故事,我心裡一震——
多少時候,我們覺得自己「太小」、「沒用」、「不重要」?
但也許,正如這朵小花,
你在你的工作崗位、家庭角色、或教會服事中,
默默撐住了整個生態系統。
有些人從來不出風頭,
卻是讓整個團隊不崩塌的那塊基石。
有些努力,只有上帝記得,
但祂記得,就夠了。
祂造你,像這朵花一樣,
不是為了聲量,而是為了使命。
所以,不管你現在在哪裡——
請繼續盛開。
因為你的存在,讓這個世界更完整。

A Hidden Jewel on the Mountain
You might never spot it at first — a tiny purple flower clinging to the dry scree of Mount Hamilton.
It doesn’t bloom for attention.
It blooms because it was made to.
The Hamilton Jewelflower, found only in a few pockets of Santa Clara County, grows in some of the Bay Area’s harshest terrain.
Brushed by wind, baked by sun, it thrives quietly — rising just a few centimeters tall, its bristly petals barely brushing the breeze.
It doesn’t tower.
It doesn’t spread.
But it serves.
It nourishes bees.
Supports biodiversity.
And whispers beauty into a space most people will never notice.
Reading about it reminded me of this:
You don’t have to be famous, loud, or recognized to be important.
God created some of His most remarkable work to bloom in hidden places.
Maybe you feel small where you’re planted — unseen in your workplace, underappreciated in your family, unnoticed in your ministry.
But friend, like this flower, you might be holding the slope together.
Feeding others with your quiet service.
Making life better in ways only heaven records.
Some blooms don’t win awards.
But they keep the ecosystem alive.
Keep blooming —
right where He placed you.
