Our Bodies

"In the premortal realm we learned that the body was part of God's great plan of happiness for us. We understood eternal truths about our bodies. We knew that our bodies would be in the image of God. We knew that our bodies would house our spirits. We also understood that our bodies would be subject to pain, illness, disabilities, and temptation. But we were willing, even eager, to accept these challenges because we knew that only with spirit and element inseparably connected could we progress to become like our Heavenly Father and 'receive a fulness of joy' (D&C 93:33)." --Susan W.
