To use the word joy for Hashem is absurd because he doesn't have emotions. To limit him to the range of emotions and the vocabulary of emotions we have is to diminish him, is to put him in a box, is to make him smaller. He uses the word joy to describe what he gets when we serve him. So we're driven and motivated to serve him the way our children do something for us because it brings joy out of us because that's what inspire and motivate us within our glossery and within our vocabulary.
