Many people claim of sincerity but very few live up to it. would like to share the following incident as a good example of sincerity. It is worth reading. (I ain`t the author of it)

Horror gripped the heart of the World War I soldier as he saw his lifelong friend fall in battle.


Caught in a trench with continuous gunfire whizzing over his head, the soldier asked his lieutenant if he might go out into the "No Man's Land" between the trenches to bring his fallen comrade back.


"You can go," said the Lieutenant, "but I don't think it will be worth it. Your friend is probably dead and you may throw your own life away."



The Lieutenant's words didn't matter, and the soldier went anyway.


Miraculously he managed to reach his friend, hoist him onto his shoulder, and bring him back to their company's trench.


As the two of them tumbled in together to the bottom of the trench, the officer checked the wounded soldier, then looked kindly at his friend. "I told you it wouldn't be worth it," he said. "Your friend is dead, and you are mortally wounded."


"It was worth it, though, sir," the soldier said.


"How do you mean, 'worth it'?" responded the Lieutenant. "Your friend is dead!"


"Yes sir," the private answered. "But it was worth it because when I got to him, he was still alive, and I had the satisfaction of hearing him say, 'Jim, I knew you'd come.'"



Many a times in life, whether a thing is worth doing or not really depends on how you look at it.
Take up all your courage and do something your heart tells you to do so that you may not regret not doing it later in life.

What according to you determines sincerity of beloved ones ?

To Never Deny THE LORD;no matter how many times we mess up.
Through studying FATHER'S WORD I would say Fairness is cetainly a trait of HIS, possibley HIS main trait.
Just an opinion here,but I hope something good to think on for all. It would seem like fairness is OUR Sheild of Faith
That part in us that when we see things are not fair,and we mean everywhere, then we automatically know; HE'S not THERE and if things are not fair and HE'S not there; Then we will stand unto Death, if necessary until we hear from HIM as to what to do!
Love to ALL in CHRIST!

Fair to humanity is perspective; it usually means They or I aren't getting what I deserve or should get from their point of view

That story gave me chills. I like that post. Loving the unlovable. Being there when they don't deserve it.
