Our inherent worth and beauty as people come from being created in God's image (Genesis 1:27). Your value is not defined by societal standards of physical attractiveness but by the fact that you are God's beloved child.

1 Samuel 16:

7 But the LORD said to Samuel, “Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The LORD does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.”
2Co 5:

16 From now on, therefore, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we once regarded Christ according to the flesh, we regard him thus no longer. 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.
You are a child of God. You are loved by God no matter what you look like on the outside. The Spirit of God dwells in you.

This world is a testing ground for everyone, Romans 8:

18 I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory to be revealed to us.
We will be raised with a glorified body. God lives in you. Focus on Him.
