"El autocontrol no es control a través de tu propia fuerza de voluntad sino más bien a través del poder del Espíritu Santo"
— Jerry Bridges

Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes people think controlling their actions is all about using their own strength and determination. However, this quote says that true self-control comes from a higher, spiritual source, specifically the Holy Spirit. Imagine someone trying to quit a bad habit like smoking. They might struggle and fail many times if they rely only on their willpower. But when they seek help through prayer, spiritual guidance, and faith, they can find the strength to overcome the habit. This suggests that trusting in the Holy Spirit can give them the power to manage their actions better than if they did it alone. So, turning to spiritual help can make a big difference in achieving self-control.
