Have you ever noticed that some people add theological qualifiers to descriptions of their suffering to avoid appearing spiritually immature? For example, “My life is so hard . . . but I know God is in control. I just need to trust him more.” Esther Liu uses the “You Are Here” star found on shopping mall directory maps to reorient counselees who make such statements. Her point is that in counseling, it’s better to be honest and locate where your “star” is on the map of your journey with God.
