In Moroni 10:3 it talks about reading The Book of Mormon in the wisdom of God and the teaching inside. It's important to remember that Heavenly Father had a plan before we were even sent down here.
(Moroni 10:4) Invitation to action: And when ye shall receive these things, I would exhort you that ye would ask God, the Eternal Father, in the name of Christ, if these things are not true; and if ye shall ask with a sincere heart, with real intent, having faith in Christ, he will manifest the truth of it unto you, by the power of the Holy Ghost. And by the power of the Holy Ghost ye may know the truth of all things."
That is a very powerful scripture. It is the promise from our Father in Heaven that we can come to know that The Book of Mormon is truly the word of God.
Verses 9-17 is talking about gifts that we are given or can be given. I wonder what qualifies us for gifts beyond obedience?
I got on lds.org this morning during my reading and saw this video. It is really good. I think service is something that I need to work on. I think not only I but a lot of us if not all of us get caught up in life and don't take the time to truly serve others.
verse 18 "...every good gift cometh of Christ." We need faith, hope and Charity. verse 23 "Christ truly said unto our fathers: If ye have faith ye can do all things where are expedient unto me. " I need to gain greater faith in God's plan for me and believe that He is there for me to answer my prayers and help me through the hard times. 
"Faith, Hope & Love" Wood Sign {customizable} - Aimee Weaver Designs:
The invitation to "come unto Christ and lay hold upon every good gift," is powerful if we just look to Christ we shall live and have a greater desire to do what is needed. (10:32)
Blessing: Heavenly Father has given me some amazing men in my life as friends and I'm able to feel loved and beautiful at a hard time. He always knows what is best for me. <3

Heber J. Grant said "I have heard men and women say that they were going to let their sons and daughters grow to maturity before they sought to teach them the principles of the gospel, that they were not going to cram the gospel down them in their childhood, before they were able to comprehend it. When I hear men and women say this, I think they are lacking faith in the principles of the gospel and do not comprehend it as they should. The Lord has said it is our duty to teach our children in their youth, and I prefer to take His word for it rather than the words of those who are not obeying His commandments.. I may know that the gospel is true, and so may my wife; but I want to tell you that your children will not know that the gospel is true, unless they study it and gain a testimony for themselves. Parents are deceiving themselves in imagining that their children will be born with a knowledge of the gospel." (Richard O. Cowan, The Church in the Twentieth Century, p. 319)*...

Gordon B. Hinckley said, "We all do a lot of studying, but most of us don't do much meditation. We don't take time to think. I'd like to suggest that next fast day . . . everybody in this hall set aside an hour or two. Sit by yourself. Go in the bedroom and lock the door. Go out in the yard under a tree. Go in your study if you have one and shut the door, and think about yourself and your worthiness. Read from this great book [Book of Mormon]...There's a great word that's used, 'ponder.' "'Ponder.' What do we mean by 'ponder'? Well, I think it simply means kind of quietly thinking things through. Ponder what you have read. Ponder your life. Are you worthy, are you living the commandments...?" (Church News, 01/06/96) -Christ commanded them to; 1. " ponder upon the things which I have said, 2. ask the Father, in my name, that ye many understand, 3. prepare your minds for the morrow ," (3 Nephi 17:3) -The thing...
