Here, as Alma is feeling like a failure, an angel of the Lord comes and tells him to rejoice! The Lord wasn't concerned that Alma's time in Ammonihah hadn't yielded immediate or measurable success, he was rejoicing in the fact that Alma had been obedient to what the Lord asked of him. Can you and I get ourselves to believe that the Lord is pleased with our efforts? Even on days when we feel like we've failed?
Heavenly Father asks us to do hard things, we all get discouraged, we feel like failures at times. But we can take heart and trust in the Lord, knowing that if He commanded us, then He will find a way.

Alma gave a special invitation to the members on behalf of those who didn't yet know God, and it would be so powerful for us in our day as well!
