Telling someone to go away when theres a problem (as a consistent trait) doesnt actually make less problem exist. Running from actually honestly sorting through problems & conflict (at root level) in a positive & constructive way is the definition of immaturity as it relates to the Christian walk & way. It actually has the opposite effect of whats usually intended when a believer does so. Thats why scripture says dont let the sun go down on your anger... because every moment you avoid dealing with sin or anger is an invite to the devil & demons to infiltrate your life. Thats why Paul also says to leave no room for the root of bitterness. If you dont dig it up (which takes revisiting & examining & work) then youre actually planning & planting a harvest of difficulty & sorrow for yourself. Jesus never shied away from speaking to the problems & situations all around, though He very easily couldve had an “out of sight out of mind attitude. However, not only would that be sin through severe lack of compassion/empathy, humility, love, leadership & selflessness, but it also wouldve been a passive aggressive disdain & hate for life & wellbeing in general.
