Which Transcends All Understanding

It has been observed that the love of Christ creates some sform of emotion in many people- some react very charismatically, for example. However, when that sensation which evinces Christ is not seen, then what emotion could replace it? I suppose that the "Peace of God, which surpasses all understanding" (Phil. 3:7, ESV) is an apt substitute. Being less inclined myself towards outward displays of emotion, I find this hypothesis appealing. Emotion is a large part of the Christian walk, especially love. But if peace is joy, and joy an emotion, then in some cases we can observe this quieter, more subtle emotion.
