DEVELOPMENT REVIEW

For those living a professional life, development review is not something new, it is part of the employee life cycle, the same as performance review.

Development review is focusing on the potential, the growth of an employee, which normally translates into a career enhancement.

2 Timothy 3:14 ESV - But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have firmly believed, knowing from whom you learned it

Similar to our spiritual life, we also need a kind of development review. We need to continuously improve ourselves knowing that we are learning from the God of all Knowledge.

For if anyone thinks himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself. But let each one examine his own work, and then he will have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another. For each one shall bear his own load. Gal 6:3-5 (NKJV)

There are 4 pillars that I learned from this verse, that Development (Improvement, Change) covers:

• Humility, though we might think that we have tons of experience, that we know stuff, that we are something. We are reminded that we might be deceiving ourselves.
• Excellence, we need to continue to examine, review, to continuously improve our work, our service, our,... everything. There should never  be such thing as comfort zone. We need to always strive for improvement towards excellence.
• Rejoice, in everything. Starts with small things, start with ourselves. Rejoice because of ourselves. Respect, appreciate ourselves. Because only when we can accepts and appreciates our very self, then only we can trully rejoice.
• Responsible, of our own load. Starts with small responsibility (take care of ourselves) and then we may be trusted eith bigger responsibility (take care of others)

These are key points that we can use for our reflection, for our spiritual development review or even our professional or personal development review.

Only then, we may deserve our promotion, bigger responsibility, bigger service.

1 Samuel 16:7 ESV - But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not look on his appearance or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him. For the Lord sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart

This verse completes my devotion about development review. That God's measurement is different from our human measurements. What human see as humble, excellent, joyful and responsible, is different from how He sees it. God looks on the heart.

FGCC FRESH values, completes the guidelines
It should be our standard development review guidelines should we are to continuosly improve our service :)

How's your review so far? Before you close your eyes to sleep, ask yourself, have you developed the 4 pillars? Have you live the life of FRESH?

Develop our faith and enlarge our capabilities in giving. Let us continue to pray for our new journey in finding a new and develop a new home for FGCC


Another day full of blessing
