Imagine you are a renowned scholar and you have a gifted son. Your greatest hope is for him to become a university professor. If he neglects his studies, you feel deeply saddened—not because you need him, but because your dream is for him to reach that noble status. So when he studies diligently, it brings you joy.
The Prophet ﷺ said:
((Allah is more joyful at the repentance of His servant than a barren person who becomes a parent, a lost person who finds their way, and a thirsty person who reaches water.))
Reflect on this:
(( Allah is more joyful at the repentance of His servant than a lost person who finds their way, a barren person who becomes a parent, and a thirsty person who reaches water.
))

Yes, you bring joy to Allah.
