Wakeful Conscience
Genesis 4:13-14
And Cain said to the LORD, My punishment is greater than I can bear.…


Though in many men conscience sleeps in regard to motion, yet it never sleeps in regard to observation and notice. It may be hard and seared, it can never be blind. Like letters written with the juice of lemon, that which is written upon it, though seemingly invisible and illegible, when brought before the fire of God's judgment shall come forth clear and expressive.

(J. M'Cosh.)
