I am not part of the LDS Church ( I hope I said that right and apologies if I did not) and I'm not sure how this popped up on my home page but this is the most beautiful and uplifting story. I really needed this today. Thank you for sharing this. ♥
Thanks for your comment, Jessica! We're glad you enjoyed the video. We hope you'll tune in for other uplifting comment on our channel or at comeuntochrist.org!
@@churchofjesuschrist I most definitely subscribed 🥰 I look forward to seeing so much more
💗💗💗
Thx for your thoughts . Loved it
Jessica, just remember to think for yourself and don't listen to negative people. Life is full of all sorts of beauty and it's not all appearance. So many beautiful people are just good humble people who don't realize they are beautifully created by a loving Heavenly Father. God bless you on your journey in life.
I'm just like you brother, children where afraid of me. I'm a giant man, I been feared almost all my life, until I joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Found that Jesus Christ loved me, that's all that counts.
Love this!!
Wow. Yes i love you too

you know right?
I came here (as a catholic) cos I really liked Mormons definition of faith and its essence.
Our faith is in Jesus Christ as is yours and we are unified in it and in Him. God Bless!
You are welcome here.
I grew up in Connecticut. There, I learned the simple elegance of faith from Catholics. Thank you!
Ben’s parents are THE sweetest and kindest people you would ever meet and instilled this into all of their kids
“Victim or victor.” Powerful wording.
So true!!!!!!!!!
Amazing story of hope! Thank you!
Thank you!! Powerful message
When you started talking and sharing your story I honestly didn't see with my eyes your physical deformity. Even as I listened because sometimes things like that are not so obvious at first sight. I have things happen in my life that I just wish that people who I think truly love me end up using me and leaving me. And I'm left feeling like there's something outwardly about me that says "use me". When all I wish for is to know a complete love.
I was so proud to know Ben and cheer him on when he was our star wrestler at UVU. I am even prouder of him for his faith, testimony and moral character. He is a remarkable man and a great personal hero.
"If you think my hands are full....you should see my heart" I love it
I just came across this video...and was shocked as I recalled last fall when I met Ben, and his sweet wife on an airport shuttle bus.
We began a conversation, and, as he was traveling with a young child we discussed the challenges of traveling with a toddler, and he shared with me that he had TWINS at home. He was so positive, and engaging to visit with! I left feeling edified for having had the experience to visit with them, and was so happy to hear of others- that feel like I do, that it is a astounding privilege to be parents.
I had NO IDEA of his full story... what a remarkable family!
*Honestly! There are so many GOOD people in the world! What a privilege that our paths crossed...

I’m glad they didn’t add background music to this. His testimony is perfect just the way it is.
I don't care what you look like...
I just need a friend like you..
God bless 💟
God loves you. I love you. We love you.
I met this guy at a conference before, he is a very kind, genuine person who has inspired me to be a greater force for good
I love this man. He was one of my wrestling trainers back when I was in High School. Great motivational speaker, an even better man.
I've had similar experiences in my life. I was in an accident 30 year's ago that left me paralyzed from the waist down.
It's hard to explain pain I first experienced when people stare or little children ask their parents what's wrong with him?
I've since learned to smile at them and tell them I broke my back, if I get a chance. I've learned that if you treat the children and people with respect next time they see someone else who is in a wheelchair they will think about the person who took a minute to talk to them and realize we are all God's children.
This is a great way to stay positive and help others gain a greater perspective. Thanks for sharing.
My wife an I, have 2 little boys and the second was born with Crouson Syndrom and we feel eternaly grateful with the Savior, His Church, His Gospel and His attonement for such great blessings as this. Watching the man in the vídeo talking about his experiences with this different kind of life felt more hope, faith, love and gratitude, I felt the tender mercys of the Lord.
I would like to meet the man of the video if someone know how I can contact him I will appreciate very much. Thanks!
Leonardo Matias Trejo : Make this hidden comment as a new, main comment...so it is more visible. I’m sure he’d love to meet you guys, he has such a pure spirit.
Google “Ben Kjar”...he has a FB page, you could PM him.
I can’t tell you how many time I’ve watched this- currently struggling with infertility and this video comforts me every time I lose hope. Thank you Ben (and your wife!) for sharing your story. 🤍

I'm so blessed to have seen this story. Thank you Heavenly Father.
Faith and hope is alive and it is a live today and it works. AMEN!!!
He went to my high school. He was a great guy then and sounds like he's still doing great things with his life. Thanks for being an inspiration and reminding us we have a choice, victim or a victor.
I grew up being best friends with two of Ben's cousins and having the opportunity to watch Ben and look up to him. As a wrestler, he was one of the best the world has ever seen, but as a cousin, a man, a brother I have always been impressed by him. Watching this, however, my admiration, love, and respect for Ben have grown even more. Thank you Ben for your testimony, and the strength, which you have never lacked, in sharing this message with the world. The gospel brings such hope and peace.
Beautiful
This is like a letter from our future selves telling us that everything will work out for the best.
"...and she wasn't fast enough, I caught her!" That made me laugh! I also chuckled and was very happy for your family when you rather suddenly got three children, like God was saying, "You wanted children, CATCH!"
Stay strong and help others to stay strong. It can be so hard for all of us sometimes to see through the tears, but we have to remember they will be wiped away.
Ben came to my school! He talked to us, and boy, it was one of the best guest speakers. His talk wasn't just about our church. But the spirit, was there. With a great presense. I was having a horrible day. And so I was closed off. Quiet. But afterword I felt better. I wasn't all of the sudden perfectly fine and dandy. But it's because of him that that wasn't the worst day of my life. Thank you, because I know it's hard to put yourself out there. Especially when you have chraniam facial condition. I thought that Ben was a member of the church. And when he showed the beuatiful picture of him and his wonderful wife I knew that he was member of this church. And I knew he had a strong connection with the holy ghost. Thank you
What a beautiful sharing and a beautiful family. Yes, our Heavenly Father knows us and wants us to be happy. He is always there for us, no matter how large or small we think our problems are. We just need to trust him. May you and your family always be blessed. You truly look happy. What a blessing.
“God always comes on time” -so powerful
The spirit told me twice to go back and watch this. I needed it so much. Thank you
Brother, you are no monster. You are awesome. I love you and your message
"She wasn't fast enough, cuz I caught her!" Love!
Honestly when I first saw your picture at the beginning of your video I thought "What a handsome man". You are beautiful not only inside but outside too.
When I was four years old I was in a car accident that left my chin scared. Then as an adult I was in another car accident that not only left my right temple and halfway back the top of my head with scars. Lost a portion of my hair not knowing if it'd come back. That was one of three times I lost my hair.
I cried and said " not my face again".
I felt attitude was what was needed. A hospital nurse told me attitude makes the difference. You Sir have the right attitude.
You are amazing & so is your lovely family.
Me too! Handsome guy, even better looking after listening to his testimony.
Yes! Very handsome guy . . . I'm pretty sure it's the absolute joy and hope in Christ that shines out of his eyes, and his very soul!
I’m in tears and can barely see, as I write. Your beautiful testimony was so powerful and relevant! Faith and hope is alive today! God bless you, your wife and your miracle babies. So beautiful!
Thank you for sharing!
Thank you Ben for your story. To be a Victor and not a victim
My heart is full after watching this. These precious spirits are in a very loving home. Amen.
Thank you for your inspirational story! Thank you! AMEN !
“[God] may not come on your timing, but He always comes on time.”
Thank you. I really appreciate that this morning.
This is pure food for the soul! Thanks Ben for sharing your inspiring perspective and experience. My gratitude is full just hearing your story. This is what the world needs today.
I named my son Liam exactly for the same special meaning, he'll be a protector. In fact, he already is, because before he was born we were having a lot of problems in our family, but after he was born we found happiness, and our family is protected from being separated. I'm grateful for this message.
Such a BEAUTIFUL story! ❤️
I don't know what to say.
This another message from my heavenly father, telling me that, he is watching other me. Thank you Lord.
Did you know that "the LORD" means ha Ba'AL aka Sha'Tan?
At Brown Driver Briggs Hebrew Lexicon entry for "the LORD" means ha Ba'AL - 01168 Ba'AL
Yes He is watching over you, no doubt about that.
Amen. May God bless you.
❤️🙏 He saves us.
Love your story ❤️❤️❤️ Faith and Hope is real🙏🙏🙏
The struggles I had as a young woman prepared me for the struggles I’d face in adulthood. And yes, when the Lord comes through for you, he comes with his arms full. ❤️
This guy is handsome, brave and inspiring. Their story is beautiful and shows with courage and determination we can achieve what we want in life. These children could not have been adopted by more perfect and loving parents. God bless and keep you all safe
Thank you Ben!! Your faith inspired me!
You're amazing, Ben!! Seriously, such an inspiration to everyone. So grateful to call you cousin! Love you guys!!
There are so many strong people in this world. This guy’s one of them!
Never forget that God loves you. He doesn’t care about what you look like. It’s what’s on the inside that counts!
So beautiful & so true! Thank you for sharing! I’m victorious when I choose to be Victorious when our daughter was hit by a neighbor & passed away! They were in active and heavenly father filled our hearts with love for them and the gift 🎁 of
choosing hope, peace, Comfort and love through this sweet/pain! Our hearts were filled with compassion for this man and their family came back into the church and were sealed in the temple. Through all this, I’ve learned to know my father in heaven knowing He was & is always beside me and that my Savior through His atonement brought hope beyond my understanding! We knew we would see her and have her again and learned lessons of our saviors love and all that, that has meant to us!
Thank you for choosing victory and thank you to your mother for teaching you to stay in truth😌
You're amazing..I admire you & your example..❤
Wonderful message!!! Thanks Ben, you and your family are an inspiration to so many!!
Powerful testimony of Christ: “Hope works when you work.” Thanks to the merits and grace of Christ everything good is a choice.
So cute! I love this story. Just be your self!!!
Fantastic message! Thank you so much Ben. Keep up with those beautiful angels.
I loved this video so much and what a beautiful reassurance that God does deliver at his time. God will always surprises us to enjoy his blessings

I'm suppose to be preparing my Gospel Doctrine lesson, but my word...I came across this and couldn't stop listening. Thank you. You've got me in tears. Thank you, this is so good.
Not gonna lie, I didn't want to listen to this one. But it put a smile on my face - something that doesn't happen often these days - and I'm going to try and keep up hope by making a daily effort.
You are a great example for us all Ben. Much love to you. You aren't a monster... you are a stud.
