Galatians 5:22-23 ESV

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.

Walking with God, following His leading, and obeying His commands have great rewards. Moreover,God's rewards are thoroughly enjoyable and have no hidden cost. They are the fruit of the Spirit listed above

_ love, joy, peace: the spiritual happiness that comes not from following the carnal flesh, but from following God and His way. The true happiness

_ patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness: the inner strength that seeks nurture and growth, not escape or oppression. The true strength

_ gentleness, self control: the self mastery that regulate one's mood and reaction in moderation and in love. The true mastery

So the fruit of the Spirit will give us the true happiness, the true strength, and the true mastery. Aren't they what we all desire? The good gift from God, thoroughly enjoyable and contains no hidden harm
