Transformados En Su Imagen El Plan De Dios Para Transformar Tu Vida Spanish Edition — Paperback 2003 Author Jim Berg

Weeks became months. The book’s principles worked into his life like rain into cracked soil. Berg’s teaching on the “heart battlefield” (every thought taken captive to obey Christ) gave Mateo a new weapon: not gritted teeth, but whispered prayer. When the urge to control or explode arose, he learned to pause and say, “Señor, no puedo. Pero Tú puedes.” (Lord, I cannot. But You can.)

In the quiet, he thanks God—not for the transformation he can see, but for the process he can’t. The old mug still sits on the counter, still chipped. But when Mateo catches his reflection in the kitchen window now, he doesn’t see a broken pot. He sees a vessel still in the Potter’s hands.

Mateo closed his mouth. He breathed. Then he said, quietly, “That’s tough, son. I’ve had days like that. Want to talk about it?”
