In 3rd Nephi 12: 10-11 it says:
And blessed are all they who are apersecuted for my name’s sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
And blessed are ye when men shall arevile you and persecute, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake;
This picture sticks out to me because it makes the persecution for Joseph Smith more comprehensible. I've always wondered why things have had to happen to me and I honestly rarely know exactly why. This picture is just a glimpse of the trials of Joseph Smith and he was able to endure to the end. I know he's gone through more than I ever could and his example is one I want to follow. He was able to look to Jesus Christ even with a mob swarming about him. Trials are supposed to be hard, but the blessings will be innumerable. I know that I will never know fully everything I need and can definitely learn, but I know I can always turn to Jesus Christ and overcome my trials.
