Victor

God is speaking in solitude, asking what is my name. And for a man of failures, it is a difficult name to swallow. To learn to view from the Father's perspective, and based on His immeasurable love, rise up.


Victor \Vic"tor\, n. [L. victor, fr. vincere, victum, to vanquish, to conquer. See Vanquish.]

1. The winner in a contest; one who gets the better of another in any struggle; esp., one who defeats an enemy in battle; a vanquisher; a conqueror; -- often followed by at, rarely by of. [1913 Webster]

In love, the victors from the vanquished fly; They fly that wound, and they pursue that die. --Waller. [1913 Webster]

2. A destroyer. [R. & Poetic] [1913 Webster]

There, victor of his health, of fortune, friends, And fame, this lord of useless thousands ends. --Pope. [1913 Webster]
