In the premortal life, I chose to follow God’s plan.

Heavenly Father taught Moses about what you and I did before we were born (Abraham 3). Before we were born, you and I lived with Heavenly Father and Jesus and Satan and many other of God's children. We were happy, but we could not grow. We needed physical bodies

---hold up your hand---

like the ones we have now to grow like Heavenly Father. Heavenly Father had a plan to help us grow like him. We would receive physical bodies and live in families. Satan wanted to destroy Heavenly Father's plan.

Heavenly Father said, " And we will prove [these children] herewith, to see if they will do all things whatsoever the Lord their God shall command them;" (Abraham 3:25)

Many people did not obey Heavenly Father. They followed Satan. You and I chose to follow Heavenly Father. We were courageous. In the premortal life, you and I chose to follow God’s plan.

I am grateful that I chose to be obedient to the Lord. I chose the right before I was born, and I will choose the right again today.
