Each of us comes to this fallen world with weakness or challenge inherent in the human condition.61 Understanding God’s plan enables us to see all human frailties—including attractions and desires inconsistent with His plan—as temporary.62 Knowing we lived before this life as beloved sons and daughters of heavenly parents enables us to take our personal identity from our divine origin. It is our status as a son or daughter of God—not our frailties or tendencies—that is the true source of our identity.63
Elder Robert D. Hales, Ensign October 2015, "The Plan of Salvation: A Sacred Treasure of Knowledge to Guide Us"
Why I like this: The footnotes are worth reading.
