The next time you receive a letter that carries the word "Sincerely" above the signature of the writer, pause a moment & think of the origin of that word.
As you may recall, it was first used as
"sincerely," meaning "without wax," by ancient sculptors to
mark a flawless piece of work. Wax was then commonly employed to conceal
defects, to patch a chipped nose, a poorly shaped finger, etc.
Sincerely is too honest a word to be used loosely, but it is
a good word when consciously employed.

“When the honest, sincere Christian is faced with the
decision regarding whether a thing is right or wrong, he should ask: Does it
agree with all that the Scripture has to say on the subject?” - Curtis Hutson.
Psalm 145:18 (ERV): “The Lord is near to everyone who
sincerely calls to him for help.”
