'Don't Do It. Jesus Loves You': Good Samaritan Stops Man from Committing Suicide after Feeling God Calling Him to Bridge"This happened for a reason. This is not by chance. I can't not share this. Because this is totally God..." -Collin Dozier

But that didn't stop the Good Samaritan, who kept inching closer and closer to the man. "I lunged for it," Dozier said.
