Alma 29
Heavenly Father gives to every nation that portion of truth which they have opened themselves to receive. Knowing that should help us be patient and not try forcing true principles on nations which haven’t received them. For example, when Lamanites were ready to receive the gospel the Lord inspired sons of Mosiah to preach to them. It is righteous that we should desire for all to have the gospel but not that we should desire to force people to hear it when they are unprepared to accept it.
Alma’s desire was born out of his excitement at the success of his brethren among the Lamanites.
