So we can see that this attribute of God is found everywhere around us. They do not add substance to life, but they flavor it with excitement and enjoyment. And, just like spices, they do not sustain life, but add flavor to life's experiences. For example, a football player may dance for joy in the end zone after he makes a touchdown. His joyful expression does not add any more points to the scoreboard, but it does add enjoyment to the game.
Emotions are also the appreciators of life.
We respond to the national anthem with a tear, our child taking his first step with a shout, and many forms of entertainment with a laugh. We respond emotionally to situations in life, but the substance of life is in the situation, not in the emotional response. This is where many Christians get off track. The wonderful emotions resulting from experiences with the Holy Spirit become so important to them that they leave the substance of the Word of God to seek the experiences. You will have flavor, but no nutrition.
