Doing A Mitzvah

When we do a Mitzvah, we may think we are doing Hashem a favor, by fulfilling his will. In reality, it’s exactly the opposite. We are doing ourselves a favor. Hashem has given us the opportunity to serve Him. It is for us to treat it as a privilege. This concept may be extrapolated from the Drosho of Chazal לכם ולא לגוא. It’s not for Hashem. It’s all for us.
