The truth is we can fool ourselves into think we are always doing the right thing for the right reasons, but God knows our true motives. Proverbs 21:2 says, All a man’s ways seem right to him, but the Lord weighs the heart. God is able to pull back the curtains of our heart and see our true motivation. Doing the right thing for selfish motivations and to receive something in return is not the right thing to do.
