There is no need to judge anyone's motivation for service. We serve from the point of view of duty then understanding and finally love. But making that leap does not come all at once. If we need blessings and serve for that reason, my feeling is that the Lord will still bless us in an effort to take us to the next level. It all about education down here.

I think that is often said just as a cliche by the good people I have heard say it. But I asked a member of our temple presidency what he thought of us agreeing to serve because we are in need of blessings; he responded to the effect that he thought the Lord might say "Who do you think you are? I have already given you so much." What do you think of the phrase that is often used: “I’ll sign up for a shift at [wherever our ward has been given a service assignment]; I need the blessings.”
