Comedian Kevin Hart thanked God for grabbing his attention in his first social media post since a car accident nearly took his life.
In a new Instagram video, Hart, who underwent back surgery, shared a message with his viewers that read;
“September 1, 2019, I was involved in an accident. My world was forever changed.”
The video showed images of the crash and Hart’s recovery at a hospital. The comedian confessed he was grateful to be alive.
He even said the accident was meant to happen because God was trying to get his attention.
“When God talks, you gotta listen, I swear, life is funny, because some of the craziest things that happen to you end up being the things you needed most.
In this case, I honestly feel like God basically told me to sit down.
When you’re moving too fast and you’re doing too much, sometimes you can’t see the things that you’re meant to see.
But after my accident, I see things differently. I see life from a whole new perspective.”
Hart continued:
“My appreciation for life is through the roof. I’m thankful for my family, my friends. I’m thankful for the people that simply ride with me, have been with me, ’cause you stood by me.
My fans — I’m thankful for all your love and support. So don’t take today for granted, ’cause tomorrow’s not promised.”
The video post ends with Hart thanking all of his loved ones;
”I’m thankful for life. I’m thankful for simply still being here, more importantly, I’m thankful for God. The role to be an even bigger and better version of me. Looking forward to an amazing 2020.”
