The story of Abraham and Sarah's twenty-five year wait for a child is such a hopeful one! Even though they had God's promise that it would happen, they didn't know about the long wait.  In a similar way, we who are believers have the certainty that our faith will be rewarded by an eternity in heaven with the Lord, but only when we look back on our lives will we be able to understand the circumstances of the winding road that led us through sanctification and growth at the hand of the Holy Spirit.
