The Fall wasn't a disaster.
It wasn't a mistake or an accident.
It was a deliberate part of the plan of salvation.
We are God's spirit "offspring," sent
to earth "innocent" of Adam's transgression.
And yet our Father's plan subjects us
to temptation and misery in this fallen world
as the price to comprehend authentic joy.
Without tasting the bitter, we can't understand the sweet.
We require mortality's discipline and refinement
as the "next step in [our] development"
toward becoming like our Father.
But growth means growing pains.
It also means learning from our mistakes
in a continual process made possible
by the Savior's grace, which He extends both during
and "after all we can do."
