Proverbs 11:25 - The generous man will be prosperous, And he who waters will himself be watered.

Oooh yes!!

Proverbs 11:25 25 The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that watereth shall be watered also himself.

You can tell that Denzel knew his situation. He held it all inside, look at his eyes. God bless

[@anthonyl.kellyakawritedisw9662]

If I have never heard words spoken from the heart, they must sound like this. Words that can choke a man with humility are words like this... Kind and considerate words from one King’s mouth to another King’s soul. Words like these build universes, crush demons, and give angels wings. These words were needed. These words bring air to suffocating lungs.

“The daily battles won, the thousand territories gained, the many sacrifices you made on film sets during your career, the things you refused to compromise along the way... [Crowd starts cheering] (Chadwick doesn't miss a stride, keeps going, crowd shuts up to continue listening to him) "..laid the blueprints for us to follow. And so now, let he who has watered, be watered. Let he who has given be given to." Amazing. King.

Eloquently said from excellence to excellence.

I read somewhere that Chadwick Bozeman was grateful to be able to publicly thank and honor Denzel before he left us. Such an amazing man gone too soon.

Im an asian grown man crying about this speech. Denzel is one of my most if not my most favorite actor, a good role model and family man. I wish i could be his friend even for an hour.

I love when Paulette is looking at Denzel and he has no reaction on his face just admiring the words of Chadwick Boseman what a true legend

[@hamzafridi5459]

The face of Denzel when Chadwick said " there is no Black Panther without Denzel Washington" is the same face I did when I heard about his death

[@shaepolk3806]

I think Denzel knew what we didn't

[@matthewcoreyvilla5674]

Denzel is a pretty serious dude but can cut out and show out when he is comfy. You could see in his face that his moved. Even before Chadwick said there would be no black panther if not for Denzel he talked about the offering of a king and Denzel nodded like he just got a good “peace” of the word on Sunday. Or when he was finishing up and his wife kept looking at him to see his reaction...he as was so focused on hearing what Chadwick had to say that he just glared with the proud that I father would have. It takes a king to recognize a king. Long live the Black Panther. ✊🏿CHADWICK FOREVER!🙅🏿

[@shaepolk3806]

@@matthewcoreyvilla5674 I think he had some stalk in Chadwick success and to see the seed he (Denzel) had watered, was humbled by the blessing he extended, and see it come full circle, in Gods goal. Let him who has watered be watered.

shae polk...Preach. I played the speech for my men at the shelter and not a dry eye the room. Very touching! Blessing and peace to share polk!

I wish Chadwick had this recognition when he was alive, but I'm glad he left this world knowing he was loved by so many 🖤

[@bornofgod2141]

He is gone. But his grace and charisma and wisdom will live on. I cried watching this tribute..happy tears then. Today it hits different. It sucks that he is gone. But i thank you God for the man that Chadwick Boseman was. He gave us the best while undergoing the worst time in his life. Rest in Peace King.

That little mannerism Mr Washington did at 2:27-2:28, after having also stood up, leads me to believe that he sees something in Mr Boseman that he doesn't see in the others. Time shall tell.

[@LayonthePedal]

I’m not quite seeing the mannerism. Would you mind point that out to people that need glasses such as myself?

[@lugerardespinosa3765]

@@LayonthePedal it's a very quick subtle move he does with his head as he gets up he moves his head slightly to the left and the look he gives him. If you adjust the playback speed to 0.5x you might be able to notice it more. Or maybe I'm just crazy and it's nothing lol

[@LayonthePedal]

Luis Espinosa thank you kind sir

[@headedsomewhere]

I too, thought about that, and the respect Chadwick showed Denzel, when he addressed him as Mr. Washington, speaks of his upbringing, and endeared him to me, because I knew he had been raised right #GodBless ;0
