I'll tell you what I find beautiful about Mormonism. It is a fully ennobling religion. Its focus is on how much God loves us and how, though we have been separated from Him for a period of time, we are never far from His thoughts. From their earliest years, Mormon children are taught that God loves them. They are not taught that they were born depraved sinners, deserving of eternal punishment, but as His spirit sons and daughters, whom He wants to be reunited with more than anything. Mormons don't believe that God created us because He was bored, or needed some entertainment, or wanted to be sure to have a few billion souls around to worship Him forever. His reasons for creating us were 100% unselfish. Our scriptures say that "Man is that he might have joy." They also teach that His work and His glory are to bring to pass our immortality and eternal life. I love that I have been taught that we actually chose to experience mortality and that we did so with the knowledge that, although life might be hard, it would be worth it. We seek to live our lives in such a way that our eternal potential will be limitless. How great is that?
