Beauty should be effortless. Beauty isn't something you can put on with makeup. Beauty isn't how you look or what you wear. Beauty can't be sought after in a physical sense. We are not made more beautiful by adjusting our physical appearance in any way. When I refer to "beauty" I am, of course, speaking of true beauty. 

The beauty of character. Beauty is possessing true character. Beauty is not perfect teeth; it's a joyful smile. Beauty is not a wrinkle-free face; it's a full soul laughter. Cultivating the soul, allowing the Lord to work his will in you each and every day, smiling at everyone you meet, inquiring after the well-being - and not just inquiring but showing interest in your fellow human being - of those around you. True beauty should be an overflowing of love, grace, peace, and joy, the kind that can only come from the Lord. True beauty should seem effortless. 

To be lovely, to be genteel, to be reserved and yet friendly, to be bubbly and yet calm, to run harder than ever yet to know when to sit still, to speak when I have something important to say and hold my tongue when I do not. to strive and yet to depend, to be vivacious and yet posses a quiet spirit, This is to be a lady. This is what I desire.
