A Woman's Worth

What does “worth” mean to the modern day women?
As we are all aware, women from all ages and races would like to look beautiful. I mean, who wouldn’t right? But, to what extent though?
In an Asian society such as the one I am currently cohabiting, there are three main features in a women that are deemed as the most attractive and vital to have (or modify): Slim, Big Eyes and Fair.
This results in an attempt to achieve the slender size 6, dolly double eye lids and snow white oriented fairness stature which is seem as the ideal look. Or is it?
If diet pills, falsies, black rimmed contacts and whitening products are not enough (since they are just a temporary fix), the last option would be going under the knife to avoid the constant body maintenance that needs a daily routine attached.
So after such intensions of lippo, eye enlargement surgery and skin bleaching, and if all is carried through, would one still be happy with oneself? Because only the outer area is fixed, what about the the heart?
We find our worth in Him.
“So God created man in His own image; 
in the image of God He created him;
Male and female He created them.”
Genesis 1:27
What is the image of God? One word, perfection! 
And because He has created everything perfect in His image, we are also perfect! Our so called “flaws” in our sight, does not exist in His eyes because we are His piece de resistance. 
Who will ever do a better job than our Daddy? No one. Never. Impossible.
Without God, nothing exist. His words, commands and breath gave life to all that was created. 
We cannot help it, we are made from the hands of a perfectionist.
