D&C 11:6-8
6 Now, as you have asked, behold, I say unto you, keep my commandments, and seek to bring forth and establish the cause of aZion.
7 Seek not for riches but for wisdom; and, behold, the mysteries of God shall be unfolded unto you, and then shall you be made rich. Behold, he that hath eternal life is rich.
8 Verily, verily, I say unto you, even as you desire of me so it shall be done unto you; and, if you desire, you shall be the means of doing much good in this generation.

The Lord promises we can be the means of doing much good in the world if we keep His commandments. He will grant unto us that which we righteously desire. He promises to lead us to do good if we place our trust in Him. He promises to enlighten our minds and fill our souls with joy. I know the Holy ghost is the way He accomplishes this promise. I love giving to others, not because I am any great person, but because I am a "good feelings" junkie !! There is no greater high then bringing joy to another. So I wonder does it negate the good you do when you do it because it makes you happy?
