A Train Full of Thoughts

I came home from Akita on the train last night. Trains make me sad. First of all, I realize that I'm probably the only person who knows Jesus on that whole train. All these people do the same thing every day, and don't even realize they are focusing on the wrong things. It's also weird to think how much of an individual everyone is. I like to look at the people, just the variety, and see their personalities through their clothing, facial expressions, and what they do on the train. Everyone is just absolutely different.
And everyone has cell phones. And on every cell phone people have different screen savers, different rings, and different little dangly things. Yesterday I was thinking about what's inside the cell phone, the pictures. No one else gets to see them, just the person who uses them. It seems like a waste of personality to me, that not everyone gets to see who everybody else is. You can't be known by everybody, and you can't know everybody. That makes me kind of sad. There's a whole lot of neat people in this world you won't get to know, a whole lot of perspectives you won't get to see, and a whole lot of personalities that won't be an influence on you.
Why are people so different if they don't get to be shared with everybody? Maybe there should be a limited number of personality groups, so that you can get to know each type of person. But that would get boring.
Maybe there should only be 6 people in the world, and they could all get to know each other quite well. But that's an empty earth if I've ever seen one...also boring as well.
There are so many personalities because it's another way God communicates with us. His character, who he is, is so diverse and all encompassing that we can't possibly understand it. And God can't fit all he is into one person. He created us in his image, and each different person reflects him differently. It seems like part of his glory would be lost if he reduced humanity to a set number of ways a person could think and act. It seems like his creativity would be downplayed if there were only 6 people in this world.
Just because I can't understand how people can be so diverse doesn't mean it should be that way. If God made everything so that we could understand, we may as well be God too.
It may seem like a waste not to get to see everybody's cell phone picture, or not get to talk to absolutely everyone on the train, but we can impact people one at a time. One by one people need to be plucked out of this ever-moving, ever-changing sea of humanity so they can be shown the only real constant in this world - Jesus. And one at a time they need to fall in love with the One who made each of them so uniquely different. And God, one person at a time, is completeing his mosaic of humanity that will forever proclaim his glory.
And at the end, we WILL get to know all these people, be provoked to thought by the way they think, laugh at the stories they tell, be intrigued with their views on life, and spend countless hours finding out what fragments of God they represent. All this from not just spending time with the people, but unlimited hours with the One who created all of them.
So this array of humanity is not a waste, as we view it with our earthly eyes. If we are able to not just see the now, but the later as well, we can see this diversity as something to look forward to, and something we will be blessed by as we spend eternity in heaven.
