And so when Hashem sees that you're enjoying the apple He's happy. “Ah! You’re hungry?” he says, “Take an apple, My child, and enjoy it. That's why I'm making it colored.” An apple could look like a potato; it could be the same color. But we wouldn’t enjoy it that much. So He colors it; and He gives flavors to it. “My child take an apple and enjoy it.” Certainly He’s happy that you like His apples.
But when He sees that you're getting the real benefit of the apple – that you're learning about the Creator – Hashem is certainly more full of joy. He rejoices because you’re complimenting Him? Because you’re praising Him? No! He’s happy because you’re gaining what is most important to gain. You’re achieving our function for which we were created – awareness of Hashem and singing His praises. That’s how the chessed Hashem is being fulfilled in the greatest possible manner.
