It's encouragement week! Throughout this week, I am sharing posts on the topic of encouragement as part of Dayspring's second annual Encouragement Dare.
Today, I have my own little challenge for you. I am challenging you today or throughout this week to grab your journaling Bible and do a little journaling on encouragement. Don't have a journaling Bible? Any ol' journal will do. Use arts, use words... use whatever talents and interests the Lord has given you. Visit me on Facebook to share, or tag me @RandiKaye on instagram. (Also feel free to tag Dayspring as well... use the hashtag #EncouragementDare)
Here are a few of my personal pages on the topic of encouragement:

On Encouraging Others
1 Thessalonians 5:11
Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing.
Ephesians 4:29
Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear.
Hebrews 10:24-25
And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.
1 Thessalonians 4:1
Therefore encourage one another with these words.
Acts 20:35
In all things I have shown you that by working hard in this way we must help the weak and remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he himself said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”
Ecclesiastes 4:9-12
Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil. For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow. But woe to him who is alone when he falls and has not another to lift him up! Again, if two lie together, they keep warm, but how can one keep warm alone? And though a man might prevail against one who is alone, two will withstand him—a threefold cord is not quickly broken.
Luke 6:31
And as you wish that others would do to you, do so to them.
Proverbs 17:17
A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.

The Lord is my strength and my shield; in him my heart trusts, and I am helped; my heart exults, and with my song I give thanks to him.

I can do all things through him who strengthens me.
Psalm 55:22
Cast your burden on the Lord, and he will sustain you; he will never permit the righteous to be moved.
