From the second floor of a hotel room in Worthington, Minnesota, Victor observed a small accident in the hotel parking lot. A man in a red Ford Focus hit a parked grey Honda Civic while trying to park his vehicle. Victor observes the anxiety on the man’s face. What would he do?

At first, he drove far away from the scene of the accident. Then he drove back as if to see the extent of the damage. Victor watched intently wishing the man strength to do the right thing. He sent him waves of calmness.

The man drove away again and parked at the other end of the parking lot. He stepped out of his vehicle, heading toward the hotel front door, but then changed his angle to pass by the scene of the accident once more. He paused in front of the dented vehicle shaking his head in frustration. He wrote a note with his contact information and placed it under the wiper. As he turned to leave, he considered the financial implication of his note and took it back.

Victor watched all this keenly, experiencing the inner struggle along with the man and urging him to victory. The man finally placed the note back on the car’s windshield and walked into the hotel. Victor was overjoyed for he knew that there were cameras in the parking lot which recorded the accident. Matters would have been much worse for the man in the future had he not done the right thing in that moment.

As it is with this man, might it also be the same for us all. Do we all have a Victor above urging us to victory over our daily struggles? Are all our actions and innermost desires which are unseen by others on earth recorded elsewhere awaiting us?
