the value cannot be quantified, but for me i know it is a pleasant experience to know that apart from all the hassles of this world i still have somewhere better to go to.

what next- the bible says that you have to work out your salvation with fear and trembling . this is to say it is not going to be easy but tap into the endless strenght of God and He would see you through.

Cheers

Nameless,

i really feel for you and i want to join the others to tell you that the love of man is temporal but that of Jesus is eternal and unconditional.
if you really set your mind on the things of God as the bible as said that we should present our bodies as a living sacrifice you will be able to suppress your desire to be touched.
it is not very easy but renew your mind daily by dwelling in the word of God and the Lord will give you the grace.
the bible says that shall we continue in sin and expect grace to abound ( God forbid)
in due season just like HE did for Adam your mate will find you
Goodluck
