Allah Forgives

This ayaat reads in the translation: Say: "O my Servants who have transgressed against their souls! Despair not of the Mercy of Allah. for Allah forgives all sins: for He is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. (Surah Az-Zumr:53)

This is the ayaah that I reflect on when I know that I'm falling short on getting close to Allah through rememberance and tawbah. It gives me hope that although I know that I commit sins, if I make tawbah, My Lord forgives me. And despair is relieved from me much easier this way. Alhamdulillah... Allah is merciful.
