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
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!

you know right?
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...

“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.
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!
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’m glad they didn’t add background music to this. His testimony is perfect just the way it is.
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.
I don't care what you look like...
I just need a friend like you..
God bless 💟
"If you think my hands are full....you should see my heart" I love it
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.
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 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.
Ben’s parents are THE sweetest and kindest people you would ever meet and instilled this into all of their kids
"Faith means trusting God in good times and bad, even if that includes some suffering until we see His arm revealed in our behalf."

"...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.
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 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 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. 🤍
There's nothing wrong w/his face! He looks beautiful
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. ❤️
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..❤
“[God] may not come on your timing, but He always comes on time.”
Thank you. I really appreciate that this morning.
"She wasn't fast enough, cuz I caught her!" Love!
This is like a letter from our future selves telling us that everything will work out for the best.
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.
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’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!
"He always delivers on time!!" "Hope works when you work!" Yes, indeed, Heavenly Father does when we let God prevail in our lives! :)
The spirit told me twice to go back and watch this. I needed it so much. Thank you
Your story builds faith. I can relate. I gave birth to my son at age 42 after bringing married for 21 years. I remember those fertility shots and discomfort. My son filled our lives with purposed and loves. We were the most engaged parents in his schools throughout his life. God gave us a GIFT. My husband and I have always been grateful for our son. Heavenly Father has blessed our life. My heart is full of love and gratitude for my Savior. He answered my prayer. I feel so blessed. My son just finish his mission and it’s going to college. Life comes with trials, but also with blessings. We must keep our faith. God bless you and your family.
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
I'm so blessed to have seen this story. Thank you Heavenly Father.
“God always comes on time” -so powerful
My heart is full after watching this. These precious spirits are in a very loving home. Amen.
God loves you. I love you. We love you.
Brother, you are no monster. You are awesome. I love you and your message
You're amazing, Ben!! Seriously, such an inspiration to everyone. So grateful to call you cousin! Love you guys!!
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.
Powerful testimony of Christ: “Hope works when you work.” Thanks to the merits and grace of Christ everything good is a choice.
One of the most beautiful stories I've ever heard. D&C 111:11, God orders all things for our good, as fast as we are able to receive them.
Beautiful story. You are quite attractive. Interesting, perceptions. Gratitude and love push away fear. Learning to trust God and Jesus and let go of attaching to other people's opinions and fears
My wife says I am attractive as well....LOL! Thanks for the kind words!
@@benkjar2609 hey amazing message man! How’s it going with the kids now?
@@benkjar2609 Your inspiring story helped me today through a trial I’m going through in my life....I’ll always remember “victim” or “victor”...thank you so much for sharing
There is nothing wrong with his face that I can see.. really. And he got a great sounding voice
Great sounding voice!
Kjar Family.... you guys are definitely an amazing family and amazing speakers! ❤️ Ben, you are awesome and we love you!
This message is AMAZING!!! Such a beautiful story. Thank you so much for this! This was seriously exactly what I needed to hear right now.
That was the most beautiful story on hope. Thank you for sharing your inspiring story and faith!
Fantastic message! Thank you so much Ben. Keep up with those beautiful angels.
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.
Faith and hope is alive, and it's alive today.
What a beautiful and touching story. A very good reminder to each of us to remember to stay positive, even among hard times.
What a beautiful family! Thank you for reminding us to continue to endure to the end in this life. I love, love, loved your story! I choose to be a Victor and not a Victim! God Speed! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
I was blessed with two boys four years apart. I wanted more and I wanted them closer but I listen to the doctors advice. Later we adopted two girls who have been a joy to my heart. I went on to teach preschool and foster kids for 17 years. You never know how the Lord will bless you.
There is always light at the end of a tunnel 👍🏻 Awesome message 👍🏻
Mortality sure can kick us in the teeth. Your story beautifully illustrates how God blesses us as we continue to work and strive and choose for the better. Thanks for sharing. God bless brother!
That is such a powerful story
When people ask me why I think the church is true it’s because of stories like this one !!! I’ve had some of these types of miracles and moments in my life as well . This story reminded me to never give up ! Hope !!!
Never a a victim always a victor
Praise God
Absolutely beautiful message at this time of need. The way he conveyed this message with such hope and love is perfect! Thank you and may our loving Heavenly Father bless you and your family! Amen 💓🙏🏽
Nice story. Heavenly father 💓 loves you.
What a beautiful story and testimony! ❤️
That was incredible.. love being a victor and not a victim. Thank you for sharing your message Ben.
What an amazing and inspiring talk that brought me to tears ! I so appreciate you sharing a part of your life. I too have a son by adoption. It was a long 9 years until we finally were able to become parents. I was not sure my son would ever get married, so when he did it certainly surprised me. Of course I wanted to be a grandmother but that proved a challenge for my son and his beautiful wife. They went through some of the same things you and your wife did. But finally a baby was born to them. A boy born Feb. 2019, now 20 months old and the light of my life. Imagine my delight when I learned they were to have another baby, due in October. This little girl needed no help in making herself at home in her mothers womb and was born on her own terms almost in the car on the way to the hospital. She was born Oct. 2020. I first thought I never would get married, I did, then I never thought I would have a baby, I did through adoption and grandchildren was what my friends had lots of. I am so very blessed to have 2 grandchildren a boy and a girl. I couldn't ask for more and my Father in Heaven knows the desires of my heart and in the right time (His time and not mine) those desires have been given to me.
This is truly an amazing story. I'm glad the Lord has come through so powerfully for you and your beautiful family, Ben.
What an awesome story of hope and triumph!!! So happy for you and your beautiful family!!!!
Beautiful
Hey Ben ! Hello from El Paso , he served in my home ward 12, we still have you pictures , thanks for your soul!
This man is an instrument in God's hands. I am so inspired after watching this.
Faith and hope is alive and it is a live today and it works. AMEN!!!
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.
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
Ben came and showed up at school at gave a motivational speech to the whole school. It was the coolest life story and and very inspiring. You did a great job here, and back and my school, and thank you so much.
I love this attitude! I try to raise my kids not to be the victim. There’s so many victim mentalities and it’s easier to be the victim. It’s harder to rise above but as you’ve proved, it’s worth it! Thank you!
Thank you Ben. The legit side of life without the mushy stuff we usually want but so much not the stuff that builds our character and our ability to receive God's best blessings. The trials are deep but so is the Love. You made our day. What fortunate babies. What a lovely message.
Wow!!!! So so happy you shared this today!
Brian here and I have Parkinsons In my 40's and I was a slow learner in school elementary to high school and it's always a struggle. I put things in God's hands
This is so beautiful, I watch these every night. These help me so much with my anxiety and loneliness. Please continue these amazing messages! ❤💕
God bless you dear girl!!!!
What a beautiful story 💗 Thank you so much for sharing
Awesome Story❤️! Honestly, when I first clicked on this video, you didn’t look different from any other person I know🙏! GOD BLESS YOU MAN🙌❤️👑👑👑!
Children can be cruel, I can't believe the mother just went along with running out of the ice cream parlor too though. It's parents job to correct their kids when they do something wrong, not go along with it. She missed a big teaching moment where she could have taught him that it's what's on the inside that counts and not to be afraid of someone because they look different. Thanks for educating us on your condition. Spreading awareness is the best thing you can do to help others understand. Parenthood is measured by love, not DNA. "More are the children of the desolate" a scripture says. We're all a human family and there's ways to be a parent to others without having it be legally binding. But aww you got your kids and they are so cute! I'm glad you filmed your moms reaction, her shock is so cute. If we didn't experience the bad we wouldn't know any contrast and the good wouldn't be as powerful and meaningful without experiencing the bad. We have to taste the bitter to know the sweet, like The Book of Mormon says. I wish everyone knew they are a child of God and are worthy of love and given love by Him. His love and opinion of us is really all that matters and it's always good. It's better to have people in our lives who share that opinion. If they run, let them run, you don't want them in your life. Their ignorance and distaste comes from Satan, the most ignorant being in all of the world. Because he doesn't understand the basic truth that our differences should be celebrated and not cause us to be at odds with each other. Satan loves contention because it stifles progress, God loves love because it's what helps us put aside our differences and progress. God made us all uniquely different and we can appreciate that not everyone's the same. Life would be so boring if we all were the same. God is the author of diversity and if we want to be smart like Him we need to get with His program. He is the smartest being in the universe and the smartest being in the universe loves everyone equally, He doesn't base His worth on looks alone, trust me, looks can be deceiving. He see's our potential. What we can become, which is all powerful all knowing God's like He is. He gave us each talents, tests and challenges. We're here to learn to love like He does and become more like Him. Aw cute family picture at the end :)
The mother probably didn’t know how to react and just wanted to get out of that place due to embarrassment.
COULDN'T AGREE MORE!!! If one of my kids ever pulled a stunt like that they'd get a beating, literally.
What an amazing story and AMAZING family 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
@@carinawoodmansee9699 They are amazing. I loved listening to that. Years ago while grocery shopping with my 3 year old, a tall man stood next to us. He had such a scarred up face that it scared my little girl. She was in the grocery cart and I was a few feet to one side. She started yelling, “Mommy, is that a mask? Mommy, Mommy, is that man wearing a mask?? I panicked and froze. I kept shopping and acted like she wasn’t my child. ( there were several other moms around us and we were all just a few feet from her.) He just walked away. I felt awful. I explained to her that his face must of been injured in an accident, which calmed her down but the damage was done to that poor man.
@@carinawoodmansee9699 PLEASE DONT BEAT YOUR KIDS EVER. JUST TEACH THEM.
Beautiful just beautiful story that was shared. Thank you for these words of hope and yes Heavenly Father is always on time.
What a gut-wrenching, sad, joyful and heart-warming story!! I'm so inspired by your life and message. Life is really tough, but God does hear and answer our prayers in His own time. On to victory!
