if God wants to save someone

The other day I read this interesting Story on New Yorker magazine. This was the experience of a city cop years back, retold here.

 

While patrolling during his night shift, the cop heard a thud. He rushed to the spot to find a man who just jumped off from the 5th floor. He miraculously survived with minor bruises. The cop took him home, while the man narrated his story. On that day he was diagnosed with a terminal illness, lost his job and his wife left him. All happened within hours of each other, on the same day, prompting him attempting to kill himself. He took some pills, passed out and got up. While looking for his gun, he realized that his wife took it away when she left. So he tried, jumping off from his building as a last resort and failed.

 

A decade later, the same cop ran into him on a train. The later told the cop that he is doing just fine, has moved on since. Goes the saying in Odia

"When saved by The Omniscient;
 Can't be undone by a person of strength".
