In what way does God derive pleasure from us?

score:1

I would only speculate from scripture a few simple answers. It is apparent that in Christianity it is important that we identify God as our "Father" through Christ, in fact it is God's will that we know him as our Father through Christ so it is apparent that God wanted children. God is love and he loves his servants the angels but what greater vessel for him to pour his love into than if he were to have children? The bible says we are heirs of God, so he being a infinitely wealthy king wanted heirs to bless and shower in his dazzling riches. It brings him pleasure to give his children there good pleasure just as a earthly father gets pleasure in his children's delight.

In short God did not just want servants that will worship him, he wanted a family to love and be loved by (of there own free will).
