Take delight in the Lord , and he will give you the desires of your heart. Psalm 37:4 NIV
What gives you delight? What does delightful mean to you? Something that gives you complete joy. I know what delight is to me. It's full on time with my grandbabies. My heart gets so full the joy bubbles out of my eyes. I want nothing else than to please them and of course I can't resist them when they ask me for something. That's what Ninny's do.
So if we have a frame of reference like tbis, why do we think it would be any different for God? He wants us be delighted with him. He craves our attention and wants us to spend time with him. When we do it pleases him so much so that he will give us our desires. But the best part is, it's what he desires for us which we discover in spending time with him which is way better than anything we can imagine.
I can't think of anything better. We're not in this world for us. We're in it for him. To show the world who he is. When we do it pleases him.
I want to please my father.
