Alma 28:12-14  "While many thousands of others truly mourn for the loss of their kindred, yet they rejoice and exult in the hope, and even know, according to the promises of the Lord, that they are raised to dwell at the right hand of God, in a state of never-ending happiness.  And thus we see how great the inequality of man is because of sin and transgression, and the power of the devil, which comes by the cunning plans which he hath devised to ensnare the hearts of men.   And thus we see the great call of diligence of men to labor in the vineyards of the Lord; and thus we see the great reason of sorrow, and also of rejoicing--sorrow because of death and destruction among men, and joy because of the light of Christ unto life."

Alma 29:13-16 "Yea, and that same God did establish his church among them; yea, and that same God hath called be by a holy calling, to preach the word unto this people, and hath given me much success, in the which my joy is full.  But I do not joy in my own success alone, but my joy is more full because of the success of my brethren, who have been up to the land of Nephi.  Behold, they have labored exceedingly, and have brought forth much fruit; and how great shall be their reward!  Now, when I think of the success of these my brethren my soul is carried away, even to the separation of it from my body, as it were, so great is my joy."

D&C 58:2-5  "For very I say unto you, blessed is he that keepeth my commandments, whether in life or in death; and he that is faithful in tribulation, the reward of the same is greater in the kingdom of heaven.  Ye cannot behold with your natural eyes, for the present time, the design of your God concerning those things which shall come hereafter, and the glory which shall follow after much tribulation.  For after much tribulation come the blessings.  Wherefore the day cometh that ye shall be crowned with much glory; the hour is not yet, but is nigh at hand.  Remember this, which I tell you before, that you may lay it to heart, and receive that which is to follow."
