Can Immaturity Be Overcome?

Immaturity negatively influences a person’s willingness to admit failure or take ownership of irresponsible behavior. Immaturity blames others while refusing to face the truth. Refusing to be accountable for personal choices damages relationships, careers, and the trust and respect of others.

What often delays development of maturity is consistently being rescued from facing the consequences of reckless behavior. A father consistently rescued his son from facing the consequences of foolish choices. This son eventually passed the point of being rescued.


The unwillingness to face reality is an indication of immaturity. Listen to Proverbs 19:3. “A person can ruin their life by stupid choices but still blame it all on God or others.” By accepting reality and normal consequences, immaturity can eventually be transformed by the power of Christ Jesus. Will you permit it to be so?
