I never ever do things because they benefit me. In fact I never choose to do or not to do something based on whether it benefits me. I have experienced so much negativity in my life that I just would never think about benefits.

I also live for Christ and God alone so that answers the question about whether or not I think about myself.

Jesus told us to take up our cross and follow Him. Now to me evaluating things based on benefits just cannot be a part of me. Because if I take up my cross then I am no more and if am no more then who cares if there’s a benefit?

I just do things because I can meaning that God has given me the ability to do something, not because I expect a benefit.
