Hollywood actor and movie producer Tyler Perry today on his website shared a touching story of how he rose to fame and how a woman helped him during his struggling days.
Read the detail story from Tyler Perry below:
It’s funny how a song, a taste, a scent, or something as
simple as a change in weather can trigger a memory. Certain times of
year make me think about when I was homeless. Especially the winter. I
started thinking about this one lady in particular who helped me out
during that time. She was a good soul who saw me in need and gave me
money and food. She didn’t have much but what she had she shared out of
the kindness of her heart. I told her that when I got successful I
would pay her back. She smiled and said, “You don’t have to pay me
anything. I just felt led to help you.”
I couldn’t stop thinking about her the other day so I did some
research and found her. Imagine her shock when I called her. She didn’t
even think that I remembered her. It’s funny how something that was a
small gesture to her was a huge blessing to me. As we went on talking,
she reluctantly told me that she had just lost her job and was facing
foreclosure. Of course, I did some things to help her out.
Why am I telling you this? I’m glad you asked. She gave
to me out of the kindness of her heart. She gave to me from a pure
place and expected nothing in return. The thing that brought tears to
my eyes and blessed me so about this situation was this: this woman
planted a seed in my life almost twenty years ago. But what she didn’t
know at the time was that the seed she planted would one day come back
and bless her life just when she needed it most.
So what am I saying? I’m saying that if you are a giver of whatever
you have… time, money, love, help, whatever it is… if you plant it in
pureness it has got to come back to you. It may take a while but you
will reap a harvest from that seed. Don’t be weary in well-doing. It
will come back to you. I know sometimes it may seem that all the good
you do goes unnoticed by people, but if they don’t notice, it doesn’t
matter. If they don’t acknowledge your kindness, it does not matter.
You know why? Because I promise you God sees it all and He is the only
one that matters. And He is bound by His word, and that word says you
will reap what you sow. So sow on, sow good seeds. They will grow and
come back to you when you least expect it.
God bless you today.
