Key Verse: "Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap."
- Galatians 6:7 KJV
Have you ever wondered why God allowed a narcissist into your life? This message from Jordan Peterson will open your eyes to the deeper purpose behind these encounters. With biblical wisdom and divine revelation, we explore how to navigate relationships with narcissists while staying firm in our faith and protecting your spirit. Below is a short summary, and the full video is linked at the end of the devotional.
There's a moment in life though often delayed though often invisible to those around you when the deepest authority in the universe draws a line in the sand and says "Enough." It might not feel like justice because it comes slowly with discipline.
The narcissist by definition believes they are the highest court of moral authority. They manufacture truth. They manipulate guilt. They wear charm like armor and deception like skin. But here's what's important.
Your endurance didn't go unseen. Your silence wasn't weakness. And your long-suffering wasn't foolishness. There is something sacred about restraint. Something holy about not becoming what hurt you. And because you didn't strike back because you tried to do the right thing, heaven took notice and eventually God said enough.
And when divine patience ends divine judgment begins not as fury but as exposure. When God speaks judgment the narcissist's world begins to crack. There comes a moment of silence and invisible to the untrained eye when God no longer watches but acts. It doesn't begin with thunder, or it doesn't begin with chaos. It begins as most sacred things do in stillness. But this stillness is different than the patience of before. It is not the quiet of long-suffering. It is the hush before judgment.
The enablers begin to hesitate. The allies grow silent, small acts of defiance begin to spread. And the narcissist who once controlled every room now finds themselves explaining, correcting and reacting. And nothing nothing infuriates a narcissist like being forced to explain because their power was never built on truth. It was built on image, and the image dies when light enters the room.
What God no longer sustains, no man can uphold. You may be tempted to warn them once again and say, "Can't you see what's happening?" But don't. They saw. They ignored. Now they're reaping. And no amount of your compassion can stop a harvest they chose to sow. What you must do now is this, stay out of the collapse.
They will often pretend louder than ever during this time. Their words might be more persuasive. They might seem more confident even more successful. But you must not be deceived by the noise. The loudest performance often hides the most deafening silence. When God withdraws, the narcissist's gifts do not disappear but their wisdom does. Their audience may not leave right away but their influence becomes cursed.
Let them cling to their last threads of narrative. Because truth doesn't need your help to win. It just needs your patience. And that is how God fights. Not with explosions but with revelation. Not with force but with unveiling. And as the veil is lifted as the narcissist is stripped of their armor and the world sees clearly.
God doesn't stop there. For even in judgment he offers one final door. The door of repentance. Let's now step into the weighty silence where mercy and justice collide. The final door of repentance that few will ever choose.
There is something paradoxical even scandalous about the mercy of God. It remains open even in judgment. After the mask shatters after the audience begins to turn away after the narcissist has been left alone with the consequences of their own soul there still stands a door a final door. It does not swing open easily and it is not adorned with grandeur but it is there.
That even now after all the manipulation the gaslighting the lies and the destruction he still hopes he still longs to redeem. Not because the narcissist deserves it but because mercy is his nature. But here's what you must understand: Mercy is only mercy if it is received. Grace unaccepted becomes judgment fulfilled. And the longer the narcissist delays the colder their heart becomes. The door does not slam shut. It simply recedes into the distance until they can no longer see it.
It's not revenge. It's redemption. And redemption is the loudest justice of all. So keep rising keep speaking keep forgiving. Not for them, but so they no longer have space in your soul. You owe them nothing. Not clarity not closure not access. Let your life speak.
Because in the end you are not the victim of their collapse. You are the evidence of God's victory. And that at its core is the heart of this entire journey. Not that the narcissist fell but that you were raised.
