What does Leo Tolstoy mean by "God sees the truth but waits"?full analizing about this title

Before beginning to start there is something needs to be mentioned is that this story contains two truths; the truth of being innocent, and the truth of being good person with a tough relationship between both of them.


It, I think, means that God sees the truth that Asikonov in his deepest inside is a good man and one of his faithful people who will dedicate his soul to him but he waited and gave him a slight punishment which was make him spend 26 years experience in prison to figure it out by himself because as we come to know at the early beginning of the story that he is not such a good man:



"Aksionov was a handsome, fair-haired, curly-headed fellow, full of fun, and very fond of singing. When quite a young man he had been given to drink, and was riotous when he had had too much; but after he married he gave up drinking, except now and then."



In the other hand, if the first truth had come out early that he is innocent, that time he wouldn't find the second truth (finding the reality about himself), so with the appearance of second truth, the first one came along but it took very long time, and as they say "after sadness comes happiness" so he will get rewarding in heaven I think.
