Maturity is a continuous developmental process that extends throughout life. Each person may experience an impulse to act immaturely just to get one’s way, regardless of what’s appropriate. Immaturity can prevent a person from achieving happiness or even the potential for success.
Immaturity is a stumbling block for good judgments. It determines if other-centeredness or self-centeredness will dominate a marriage or friendship. An immature person demands that others cater to their needs, while ignoring the other person’s needs.
To struggle against immaturity, ask God to give you strength to do what is right and appropriate.
Asking God for insight and wisdom to make necessary changes in oneself is the source of power for getting it done. Listen to Philippians 4:19: “And my God shall supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” True worship follows making things right with others.
Do nothing from selfish
ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant then yourselves.
~Philippians 2:3 English
Standard Version
