2 Ways God Betrays a Narcissist For Betraying You

God takes away their biggest and most reliable source of support. If there’s one thing a narcissist counts on, it’s having a reliable source of supply. This could be a personal relationship or even a role in life that gives them validation, power, or control. But God has a way of removing this lifeline when the time is right.

A Personal Story of Lost Support

Here’s another story. My father was the golden child of his father, my late grandfather. For years, he was the apple of his father’s eye—the one who could do no wrong. My grandfather poured all his affection, trust, and hope into my father, relying on him for emotional and financial support.

But something shifted. A time came when my father stopped caring as much. Maybe it was exhaustion, resentment, or his narcissism. Whatever the reason, the dynamic changed. Suddenly, my grandfather found himself without the unconditional support he had always relied on.

The effect was catastrophic. My grandfather couldn’t cope with the loss of attention and care. He began crying and wailing to anyone who would listen, lamenting how his son had abandoned him. Even though he had four more sons, none of them was like my father. This loss of control triggered a mini-collapse he never recovered from.

God doesn’t actively take things away from narcissists. Instead, He allows their own actions to create the conditions for loss. When they neglect or exploit their sources of support—when they assume loyalty and devotion are guaranteed—they set themselves up for disappointment.
