Just a thought on Allah's mercy

Assalamu Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuhu. So Alhamdulillah I woke up this morning, and just a thought came in my mind because of which I was so happy Alhamdulillah. The mere thought that every night I recollect what I did the whole day to please Allah SWT and when I realise their is nothing good I see but all the bad that I count. I go sooo hopeless! But at the end of everyday I always make Duas to Allah SWT. It highly consists of two things: one is thankfulness to Allah SWT and other is Forgiveness! Ofcourse I make for the Ummah and the people I care! But you know these two are so much essential! Honestly I feel I didn't do any good in the whole day but my Allah SWT. Ya Allah like I know even if I would have smiled at someone HE would have rewarded me!
Guys I came across this Hadeeth read this!

Allahu Akbar kabeera!! Walhamdulillahi kaseera!! Wa SubhanAllahi Bukrataw Wa Asila!! My Allah SWT is so Merciful and Forgiving. He is sooo loving that we can't even imagine it! Like I just cry seeing my Mum's love and care for me...I can't imagine Allah SWT's love and care! So you know guys, when I sit back and recall my day, I think that in the whole day Shaytan makes us do so much of wrong in some or the other way, like, disobeying our parents, delaying our Salawats, lying, backbiting, gossiping, wasting our time doing nothing when we can do Zikr of Allah SWT and even he stops us from doing any good if we make intentions of it, etc etc. The list never ends that how he just instigates people, ofcourse it's his work to do, because he promised Allah SWT to take us away from the right path. But whenever every night I sit and repent I have this belief that Allah SWT will definitely forgive me for any wrong I did unknowingly! Ofcourse I would never ever do anything knowingly because my soul wouldn't permit me to do that Alhamdulillah! May Allah SWT always makes us realise our wrongs Aameen! So when I have this faith that I will be forgiven as Allah SWT promised 'His mercy overpowers His anger' I know I will be forgiven for the sins I regret committing under the influence of Shaytan. And then I actually imagine Shaytan brushing his nose on the ground frustrated, in dismay of his loss. Because all that he made me do the whole day was all erased! And I feel content that now I am forgiven...no matter how big my sin is I still keep hope! Alhamdulillah. I wanted to share this little thing...I suppose many may relate!
Here are some of the Ahadeeths showing how great is the mercy of Allah SWT:

Narated By Abu Huraira : I heard Allah's Messenger (S.A.W.S) saying, "Allah divided Mercy into one-hundred parts and He kept its ninety-nine parts with Him and sent down its one part on the earth, and because of that, it's one single part, His creations are Merciful to each other, so that even the mare lifts up its hoofs away from its baby animal, lest it should trample on it." - (Saheeh Bukhari)

The Mercy of Allah is what will admit His believing slaves to Paradise on the Day of Resurrection. No one will ever enter Paradise because of his deeds alone, as the Prophet (S.A.W.S) said: "No one's deeds will ever admit him to Paradise." They said, "Not even you, O Messenger of Allah?" He said, "No, not even me, unless Allah showers me with His Mercy. So try to be near to perfection. And no one should wish for death; he is either doing good so he will do more of that, or he is doing wrong so he may repent." (Saheeh Bukhari and Muslim)

Allah SWT also said in the Noble Qur'an in Surah A'raaf chapter 7 verse 156:
".....and My Mercy embraces all things..."
