Do unto others what God would do.

Why is it that most of the time we expect something out of a good deed. Why not do good just to give God a chance to shine. I myself have been caught in this a lot, as I do something good for others and expect something out of it instead of just saying it was my pleasure to help someone in need or just to do something nice for someone else. We as God's creation have longs lost the sight that it is not our works that get us in heaven all we have to do is believe and except his gift of external life, thats all. So when we do something for someone to help them or just to be nice then leave it at that. Do you think we we arrive in heaven that God is going to say to us well now that I have given you this gift what are you going to do for me?
