A verse in the Old Testament tells us that a true frient will love at all times, even during adversity. Someone who is a fair weather friend, only sticking around when things are going well, is not a real friend. A friend who will stand by us throught thick and thin and be there to help us through our trials, is a valuable friend worth keeping. We need to be this kind of friend to others. Prov. 17: 17 "A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity."
In the Book of Mormon I read that the Lord chastens His poeple, trying their patience and their faith. But if we'll trust in the Lord, we'll be lifted up at the last day. Mosiah 23: 21-22 "Nevertheless the Lord seeth fit to chasten his people; yea, he trieth their patience and their faith. Nevertheless—whosoever putteth his trust in him the same shall be lifted up at the last day. Yea, and thus it was with this people."
A verse with a thought booklet tells us not to neglect the gifts that have been given to us. Whatever gift we've been given, we need to use it to bless the lives of others and serve in any way the Lord wants us to. 1 Tim. 4: 14 "Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery."
And it shall come to pass in the last days,when the mountain of the Lord's house shall be established in the top of the mountains....The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints
