Like, I think, most believers, I look at all that God does for us as a really good deal – for me. He died for my sins to keep me from going to hell after all. This whole thing is focused on saving my scrawny hide from the pit. I am rather grateful for that.
To top that off in Isaiah 30:21 we are told that God is going to tell us which way to turn in our walk. So not only does He save us, He leads us. Good deal for us.
Read, though, Psalm 31:3, especially the last part of the verse. Why does God lead us? It is not for our benefit. It is for His name’s sake. Same reason we are forgiven.
Maybe this is not all about us after all.
