Pre-Earth Life -Where did I Come From?

Before we lived on earth, we lived with God in
heaven as his spirit children. We were taught by God as a father
teaches his children what is right; however we lacked experience to
know for ourselves. We did not fully know what compassion was because
we did not fully understand what it was to suffer. We did not fully
comprehend joy because we had never fully known sorrow. God presented a
plan to us to help us grow and become more like Him. One who rebelled
against the plan, was Lucifer. Lucifer was cast out of heaven and
became Satan. As part of God's plan, He sent us to earth to gain bodies
and experiences that would help us to learn to love one another in
families and return to Him.
