Jude Kofie, an 11-year-old musical prodigy, received a $15,000 grand piano from a complete stranger.

Kofie’s talent was discovered by his father when he heard him playing on an old keyboard without having received any formal lessons, according to CBS “Sunday Morning.“

However, his family did not have the financial resources to continue to cultivate his talent until the help of one man.

Bill Magnusson, a piano tuner, saw him on the local news and decided to gift him with a $15,000 grand piano out of his father’s inheritance.

“What resources are left over to help this special little soul?” he tearfully asked.

James 1:17 says, “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.”

Kofie also has autism and Magnusson referred to him as “beyond special.”

“He’s Mozart level. It’s coming from somewhere beyond,” he said of the young boy.

A video that has now gone viral showed Kofie cheering with excitement as the piano was being wheeled into his home.

Eleven-year-old Jude Kofie, of Aurora, Colorado, demonstrated a remarkable talent no one anticipated when he discovered an old keyboard and, without any lessons, began playing – a talent piano tuner Bill Magnusson termed "Mozart level." https://t.co/njxydT6djB pic.twitter.com/0BV18zLchE

Isaiah Kofie, Kofie’s father, was touched by the kind gesture made by Magnusson.

“All for free,” he said. “Who does that?”

Magnusson promised to tune Jude Kofie’s piano “once a month for the rest of his life” and is paying for him to get piano lessons from a professional.

“We’re family now,” he said.

When Jude Kofie was asked about his amazing talent, he called it “a miracle.”

“That’s what I prefer,” he added.

A Twitter user responded to the video, writing, “This is the best story I have seen in a very long time. What a special human Bill is. If we all just did one selfless thing every day, what an amazing world we would live in. #BeABill.”
