death at point blank range

This was the closest he has seen death from.

He shivered, he cried. He could not think why the god spared him.
Only thing he knew was that he has to do something significant to make this new birth worthy.

Was it all by chance?
Or was it all written for his character?

Did God intentionally do that? Show him the death so that he could understand value of life.
Will he learn it this time, or the gift of the God will go in a waste?

How insignificant his life has been till now. Will he be aboe to make a difference now?
