Nevertheless, the one who receives instruction in the word should share all good things with their instructor. Gal. 6:6
I'm sure this verse has multiple meanings and layers, but to me it only means one thing; encourage the ones who teach you the Bible. Let me give you an assignment today; do one or all of the following.
1) Text or call your pastor, Sunday School teacher or maybe even leave a message to your favorite online minister and tell them how much you appreciate their ministry and how much you have learned from them.
2) Write a letter or email one of your spiritual mentors through the years, someone without whom you would not have achieved the level of spiritual growth that you are at now. Having taught Sunday School, youth groups and wondering if anything you taught sunk in, getting a note from someone even years later is a treasure.
3) Send a gift card to one of your Bible teachers thanking them for their input on your life. They will be thrilled no matter how small the gift.
That's it; short verse short blog but if you do it, that may give someone all the encouragement they need not to give up.
