Hi there,
So this is a really simple thought, but typically we think of God as someone who created in the past. But God is not just a God of the past, He is also a God of the future. He has created everything, yes, but there is something (even many things) that God cannot create for you, until you are with Him in Heaven. If God created it now, your faith would falter, the burden would be to great, so He has saved it, for the Day in which You return with the Brethren into Heaven to be with Him forever.
It is possible to glimpse at the working of God on Earth, while we are waiting, that He does not create everything straight away keeps Him from being hindered by the Devil, as well. The point is that the Devil can never completely accuse you or God of doing with Creation what we should not... we simply have not had the chance to sin, in every way that is possible - God's power is to restrain the Devil!
So have hope! Thank your Heavenly Father as if you have received what He will create for you, already. The promise of Salvation can only get stronger, if we praise Him - He is longing to hear praises from His Children and you are one of them. The more we praise God, the more powerless the Devil becomes. The more we surrender that God only can create what He creates, the more the work of God will become apparent to us - will be over us, and through us and for us!
Stop deciding when you will and when you will not have faith! Once God has created what He promised to from time immemorial, there will be no doubt. The Bible says we will be known as we know ourselves (from memory), but more than that "we will have as we knew, God would have" Every believer, every brother and sister in Christ has the same hope: that God will create for them, what they never thought they could have in this life. Our hope and song is one, in this - that our Father waits to create for us that which no one can outdo.
It is a high calling, but it is also assured - praise God!
