The scars they leave on your soul.

There are those of you who, from early child hood, been treated with disdain, contempt and mocking, you couldn't figure out why this was happening.

How many of you out there were treated with this kind of contempt, where you were constantly confused about why those in the family were treating you as though you were the cause of everything bad in the world.

You agonized in your thoughts before you were saved, "what could I have done differently, what was it about me that makes others dislike me? " The translation was, "no one could ever like me." Or so the wicked family members attempted to make you believe.

Then when you became born again you asked the Lord, "what was it about me" or "what did I do that those who were suppose to love me, treated me in such demeaning ways."

Then the Lord answered, He showed you that it wasn't about you at all. Of course you were not perfect, as no one is, but the ways they were treating you were not commensurate with your flaws.

Even when you would do good things or accomplish something, they were mocked, demeaned or ignored as though you were a non-entity.

When you are exposed continually to narcissists who must feel superior to someone, and you are that someone, there is nothing you can do to win their love, because they have no love.

Being better and bigger than you is their goal, they are jealous and unhappy themselves, so they work at making you experience their own feelings. They transfer their deficit of self to you, if they can make you the problem then they don't have to face their own demons.

When narcissists do this to young children and then carry that process into adulthood as though their target never grew up, they leave scars on the soul of their target that follow them the rest of their lives.

The plan of the devil is to use the narcissist to inflict these injuries, leaving remaining scars to keep the target from God. If they can make the target bitter and angry for the rest of their life, they will never come to Christ, or so the devil thinks.

The good news is that the devil and the narcissists working together to accomplish this can leave those deep scars but they do not have to control the victim.

The scars that are left by the narcissist perpetrated by the devil can be diminished and conquered through the knowledge that God saw everything that happened, He knows what you will become in Him, the devil and His minions no longer have power over you. They are defeated foes.

We can even pray for the narcissist, keeping our distance to avoid their arrows, but never allowing them to make us bitter or angry.

The goal of the devil is to keep victims from coming to Christ through the deep wounds of the narcissist. Don't let the devil have the victory. Allow Christ to change you, grow you and keep you until He comes for you.

Matthew 13:19
"When anyone hears the word of the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what has been sown in his heart. This is the one on whom seed was sown beside the road."

Matthew 13:38
"and the field is the world; and as for the good seed, these are the sons of the kingdom; and the tares are the sons of the evil one;"

John 8:44
"You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him Whenever he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies."

Do not listen to the lies of the devil and keep his minions at a distance while you pray for their soul.
