Whenever we feel depressed about our bodies' flaws (thanks to the advertising industry), it's helpful to consider our future eternal bodies. The Bible doesn't describe them in detail but we can catch possible glimpses by studying peoples' accounts of Jesus after his resurrection.
Consider these:
He was able to walk through walls (John 20:19; Luke 24:31, 36-37)
He still enjoyed eating (Luke 24:42-43)
His physical form was still recognizably familiar (John 21:12; Luke 24:39-40)
Plus, we read in Revelation 21:4 that we will be free from sickness and death. The imperfections we face today can fade in importance when we know our future frames will be perfect and absolutely incredible.
It's like...having an old beat up Chevy today isn't so bad when I know tomorrow I'll be getting a jet plane!
