Consuming Fire

Close your eyes and picture a Nepali man in his mid 30’s dancing around, passionately screaming his sermon, and yelling his favorite word “FIRE” no matter where we are. Got it? That’s our new friend Bipin. He went to the mountains with us. When he first walked on our bus, I knew he would be a memorable person for sure… so loud, funny, and wearing a bandana, he was just eccentric in such a good way. 

Bipin is such an inspirational and fun man. He is so passionate and happy all the time that others want to be more like him. Whether from his genuine worship, funny sense of humor, or even him saying “oh yes God provided” when he got a good move in a card game, I will definitely remember him for a long time. Bipin’s love for Christ shows every minute of everyday and inspires others to be oh so passionate about our Lord as well. We asked him once why he randomly yells “fire” throughout the day and he said that it’s a reminder that God is our consuming fire.

This has been a mentally, physically, and spiritually draining week for me, but I keep going because of the fire that Bipin has. Lord, thank you for placing Bipin in my life, as his positivity radiates far and wide. Help me, Jesus, to be more like Bipin, and to be so on fire for You so that others want to know and serve you. This world needs more people like Bipin, and I’m forever thankful that I got to be inspired by him. Thank you, Bipin, for being you and for listening to God’s calling in your life.
