Nope, nada...
When you are in the middle of a sin, do you feel like talking to God? In the heat of disobedience to you discuss your heart with him? When you are running in your own direction do you turn to your side and look into his eyes?
Probably not but you can. He isn't condemning you, judging you or shunning you. He is right there loving you. You are his. He knew you--who you are, what you would do--when he made the decision to love you.
Lying, stealing, one night stands, gossip, addiction, doubt, overeating...whatever you are holding up to keep him away...not enough to make him give up on you. Not enough to make him leave you.
No matter where you are, what you have done, what you are doing he is right there loving you, waiting for you to realize it.
Not realizing it might be the only thing keeping you from feeling him. His love. His forgiveness. His complete and total acceptance of you. His precious child.
True, he can't look upon sin but he sees you through Jesus' act of unfathomable love and that makes you look pretty good to him.
It's not on his end.
I am sure that nothing can separate us from God's love--not life or death, not angels or spirits, not the present or the future, and not powers above or powers below. Nothing in all creation can separate us from God's love for us in Christ Jesus our Lord!
Romans 8:38-39

Things that make you go, "wow!"...
The LORD your God
wins victory after victory
and is always with you.
He celebrates and sings
because of you,
and he will refresh your life
with his love."
Zephaniah 3:17
A war hero
never lost a battle--large or small
knows everything about me. Everything.
And still chooses to hang out with me.
to constantly love me, defend and protect me.
Calm my fears and dry my tears.
that's inconceivable but that's not the end of it.
I, in all my messiness, bring him such joy
that he sings and celebrates
because of me. And loves me so much
that one of the sweetest sounds
to his ears is "daddy."
His child calling him.
Calling him Daddy.
His love refreshes
my heart and mind
daily. Moment by moment. I feel it.
