Psalm 139:8

If I ascend to heaven, you are there! If I make my bed in Sheol, you are there! 

You can't out-good God and you can't be too bad for Him to welcome you into His family. This verse appeals to both sides of human nature. In one case, we try to be good so God will love us. We determine to white-knuckle our way to heaven. In the other, we tell ourselves God would never accept us because of what we've done. But the good news is that Jesus came to save us from both sides of this coin. The Lord is waiting for us, no matter where we're coming from.
