Good talk by pres. Monson

I was reading a talk by Thomas S. Monson called "The race of life" and there was an excerpt in it that struck me. It reads:The Apostle Paul told the Athenians on Mars’ Hill that “we are the offspring of God.”² Since we know that our physical bodies are the offspring of our mortal parents, we must probe for the meaning of Paul’s statement. The Lord has declared that “the spirit and the body are the soul of man.”³ Thus it is the spirit which is the offspring of God. The writer of Hebrews refers to Him as “the Father of spirits.”⁴ The spirits of all men are literally His “begotten sons and daughters.”⁵ 
I like the one reference that referred to "the father of our spirits".  9 Furthermore we have had ^afathers of our flesh which ^bcorrectedus, and we gave them ^creverence: shall we not much rather be in^dsubjection unto the ^eFather of ^fspirits, and live?
I think that would be a good one to share with people about how god is our father and we are his spirit children.
