2 Ways God Betrays a Narcissist For Betraying You

Let me share a personal experience with you. My father was a malignant narcissist. He worked his entire life with a single dream in mind: building his dream home. He was meticulous, even obsessive, about how it should be constructed. He hoarded money, making sacrifices along the way. When the time came, he was very clear with the workers about every single detail—every measurement, every plan, every instruction—spelled out to perfection, or so he thought.

When the house was finished, it was nothing short of a nightmare. The room sizes were all wrong, and the roof heights were bizarrely uneven. It wasn’t just disappointing—it was devastating, especially for him. This was supposed to be the crowning jewel of his life’s work, the thing that symbolized his success and control. Instead, it became a symbol of his helplessness. I remember him sitting on his prayer mat, crying out loud to God, praying for the work’s destruction.

Imagine the kind of internal collapse it takes for a man who thought he controlled everything to finally feel so powerless. That’s the thing: God doesn’t betray them. He lets their own pride and actions lead them to situations that reflect the truth they’ve avoided their entire lives.

This reminds me of Shadad, the ruler who thought he could create his own paradise on Earth. He worked tirelessly to build it, filling it with everything he thought would make him immortal in the eyes of the world. But the moment he was about to enter it, he died. He never got to taste the very thing he spent his life building.

God allows narcissists to build their castles of pride, only to let them crumble when they’re about to reach the pinnacle—not as an act of betrayal, but as a lesson.
