You didn’t see it coming.
He was charming.
He said all the right things.
He made you feel special—until he didn’t.
What started as love turned into control. What looked like partnership became a prison. And the worst part? No one else saw it.
Because narcissistic abuse is silent. It happens in private. It twists your voice, reshapes your reality, and steals your sense of self.
But God sees what people can’t. And He is the one who rescues us from places we didn’t even know we needed saving from.
“He reached down from on high and took hold of me; He drew me out of deep waters.” — Psalm 18:16

It doesn’t leave bruises—but it breaks you.
You walk on eggshells.
You apologize for things you didn’t do.
You feel crazy for asking for clarity.
You cry silently, because speaking up leads to blame.
It feels like drowning with a smile on your face.
Like hiding your pain to protect your abuser’s image.
He saw the lies.
He heard the insults.
He counted your silent tears.
And when you didn’t have the strength to leave, He began creating a way of escape.
“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” — Psalm 34:18
🔸 Lie #1: You’re Too Sensitive.
No. You’re just deeply feeling, deeply loving, and deeply human.
Truth: “I will praise You because I am fearfully and wonderfully made.” — Psalm 139:14
🔸 Lie #2: No One Else Would Ever Love You Like I Do.
False. God’s love is constant, pure, and healing—not confusing and manipulative.
Truth: “I have loved you with an everlasting love.” — Jeremiah 31:3
🔸 Lie #3: You’re the Problem.
The gaslighting makes you believe their abuse is your fault. It’s not.
Truth: “There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” — Romans 8:1
It begins with clarity.
Then courage.
Then a quiet, holy anger that says, “This is not love.”
Then comes the mercy. The rescue. The escape.
God doesn’t just call you out—He walks with you into healing.
“I will restore you to health and heal your wounds.” — Jeremiah 30:17

You begin to feel uneasy—even when he hasn’t “done anything wrong.”
You start to see through the flattery and lies.
You pray more desperately, and God begins showing you the truth.
Doors begin closing—conversations shift.
You feel strength rising, even in your weakest moments.
You’re not imagining it. God is pulling you out.
It’s okay to not be okay.
It’s okay to cry while leaving.
It’s okay to grieve what could have been.
But don’t stay stuck.
Because your rescue is not the end—it’s the beginning of your restoration.
“Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth…” — Isaiah 43:19
Dear woman of God,
You didn’t deserve the manipulation.
You didn’t cause the abuse.
And you don’t have to stay silent anymore.
You are not being abandoned—you are being rescued.
You are not being punished—you are being protected.
You are not broken—you are becoming brand new.

🕊️ Ready to rise? Read the next chapter: “The Smile That Hid My Scars” (coming soon)
From the book: "Snatched from the Claws of a Narcissist" by Anuri Mabel
Behind her smile was a story of silent pain. This heartfelt chapter reveals how strong women hide their emotional scars and how God brings healing after narcissistic abuse.

She smiled at church.
She smiled at work.
She even smiled in pictures with the very person who broke her.
But that smile? It was her armor.
Behind it were scars so deep, even she couldn’t explain them. The scars of being misunderstood, manipulated, and silenced by someone who called it “love.”
“People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.” — 1 Samuel 16:7
You can be the strongest woman in the room… and still be breaking inside.

Because when you’re in the hands of a narcissist:
No one believes you.
You’re scared to look “crazy.”
You’re still hoping he’ll change.
You don’t want to destroy his image.
So, instead of screaming, you smile.
You become the protector, the peacekeeper, the forgiver—even when you’re the one bleeding.
🙏🏽 But God Sees Beyond the Smile
When others see a confident woman, God sees the crushed spirit behind her eyes.
He sees the late-night tears, the silent prayers, the moments you whispered, “Lord, help me hold on.”
“You keep track of all my sorrows. You have collected all my tears in your bottle.” — Psalm 56:8
God doesn’t ignore your silent cries. He answers them.
🔥 The Hidden Effects of Living a Lie
You can only smile through pain for so long before it starts affecting your soul:
You begin doubting your discernment.
You question your worth.
You distance yourself from loved ones.
You lose your joy and identity.
But it doesn’t have to end this way.
There is healing beyond the mask.
💡 1. He Confronts the Truth You’ve Buried
God gently exposes what you’ve tried to ignore—not to shame you, but to heal you.
“Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” — John 8:32
💪🏽 2. He Helps You Feel Again—Safely
After numbness comes emotion. It hurts—but it’s holy.
Tears aren’t weakness. They’re washing.
“He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.” — Psalm 147:3
🔁 3. He Rewrites Your Story
God doesn’t just remove pain—He replaces it with purpose, joy, and strength.
“To bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes…” — Isaiah 61:3

Your healing begins the moment you stop pretending.
Let the tears fall. Let the mask drop. Let God come in.
He’s not shocked by your pain. He’s moved by it.
And He is ready to walk with you from surviving to thriving.
Dear sister,
You don’t have to smile through your scars anymore.
You don’t have to carry the secret.
You don’t have to explain why you stayed.
You only have to know this: God is still writing your story—and it doesn’t end in pain.
Let today be the first time your smile is real again.

From the book: "Snatched from the Claws of a Narcissist" by Anuri Mabel

At first, it looked like love.
He wanted to know everything about you.
He texted constantly.
He told you how special you were—how “different from the rest.”
He quoted Scripture. He called it destiny.
But over time, that love started to feel more like control.
Suddenly, you couldn’t make decisions without his approval.
Your opinions didn’t matter anymore.
Your spiritual walk was “wrong” unless it was through his lens.
He used God’s Word to keep you small—and quiet.
“For such people are false apostles, deceitful workers, masquerading as apostles of Christ.” — 2 Corinthians 11:13
This isn’t love.
This is manipulation, and it is not from God.

🚩 The Hidden Red Flags of Emotional & Spiritual Manipulation
Narcissists don’t always shout.
They whisper just enough guilt to make you doubt your own voice.
They praise you publicly, but control you privately.
Here are signs you may be dealing with this:
You feel anxious, even in his silence.
You’re walking on eggshells—afraid to speak or act freely.
You’re isolated from loved ones “for your own good.”
You’re constantly apologizing, even when you’ve done nothing wrong.
Scripture is used not to heal—but to shame and control.
“God is not the author of confusion, but of peace.” — 1 Corinthians 14:33
Narcissists are masters of disguise.
They weaponize charm and religion. They twist submission into suppression.
Here’s what they often say:
“God says a woman must submit to her man.”
“You’re not obeying God if you don’t listen to me.”
“You need to pray more so you stop being rebellious.”
But here’s what God actually says:
“Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.” — Ephesians 5:21
“There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear…” — 1 John 4:18
True love doesn’t manipulate—it frees.
🔸 1. Acknowledge the Truth Without Shame
You are not stupid.
You are not weak.
You are a woman of mercy who got caught in a storm.
“Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” — John 8:32
🔸 2. Ask God to Restore Your Discernment
Emotional abuse clouds your ability to trust yourself.
Ask God to renew your mind and show you what’s real.
“If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God…” — James 1:5
🔸 3. Seek Support and Step Back
Talk to someone safe—a counselor, a pastor, or a trusted friend.
Create space. Let the fog lift.
Don’t stay because of guilt. Stay only where there's grace.
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” — Matthew 11:28

You were made to be loved—not controlled.

If the relationship is causing emotional torment, spiritual confusion, and repeated guilt—it is not from God.
“It is for freedom that Christ has set us free.” — Galatians 5:1
Dear sister,
You are not crazy.
You are not rebellious.
You are not broken beyond repair.
You are loved by God, and that love does not require manipulation or fear.
Let God guide you away from control and into true, merciful love—where peace, clarity, and healing begin.

📘 Up next: Chapter 4 – “Bound by Mercy, Not Chains: The Difference Between Godly Compassion and Toxic Submission” (coming soon)
From the book: "Snatched from the Claws of a Narcissist" by Anuri Mabel
Mercy is not weakness. Discover the difference between godly compassion and toxic submission in relationships. Learn how to set boundaries and honor God without staying in abuse.

She thought staying was obedience.
She believed forgiveness meant silence.
She confused submission with suffering.
Because she loved deeply.
Because she showed mercy.
Because she was told, “A good woman endures.”
But mercy was never meant to be a prison.
God never asked His daughters to sacrifice their mental, emotional, or spiritual safety in the name of loyalty.
“The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble.” — Psalm 9:9
There’s a difference between being bound by love… and being bound by control.
⚖️ Toxic Submission vs. Godly Compassion
The narcissist praised your kindness—but only when it benefited him.
He used Scripture to silence you.
He called your boundaries rebellion, your intuition disrespect, and your pain exaggeration.
Let’s make this clear:
Toxic Submission
Godly Compassion
Silences your voice
Gives space for truth
Demands endurance of harm
Protects your body and soul
Calls manipulation “headship”
Honors mutual respect
Enables sin
Encourages accountability
Uses mercy as control
Gives mercy freely but wisely
“Be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves.” — Matthew 10:16
God never called you to enable abuse in the name of loyalty.
Mercy forgives. But mercy also frees.
You can forgive someone from a distance.
You can show compassion without returning to bondage.
“Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.” — Proverbs 4:23
Jesus showed mercy. But He also walked away from manipulation.
So can you.
If you’ve ever heard:
“A good woman submits no matter what.”
“You just need to pray more and obey me.”
“God hates divorce, so stay even if it’s destroying you.”
Then you’ve heard Scripture used as a weapon, not a shield.
God honors holy submission—not toxic subjugation.
“Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.” — Ephesians 5:21
Mutual. Respectful. Christ-centered.

🔹 1. Mercy with Boundaries
Mercy is not a doorway for someone to walk all over you.
You can be kind—and still say no.
“Let your ‘Yes’ be yes, and your ‘No,’ no…” — Matthew 5:37
🔹 2. Compassion Without Co-dependence
Compassion says, “I see your pain.”
But wisdom says, “I can’t let your pain destroy me.”
Jesus healed the broken, but He didn’t absorb their sin. Neither should you.
🔹 3. Prayer That Leads to Action
Pray, yes. But also move.
When God says “Go,” don’t stay out of guilt or fear.
“The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.” — Exodus 14:14
Still doesn’t mean stuck. It means surrendered to His voice.
God gave you a heart of mercy.
But mercy without boundaries becomes self-destruction.
You are called to love others—but never at the expense of losing yourself.
“Love your neighbor as yourself.” — Mark 12:31
Don’t forget the “as yourself” part.
Your soul matters too.
Dear sister,
Mercy didn’t break you.
Manipulation did.
And it’s not your job to fix someone who refuses to change.
It’s okay to say, “Enough.”
It’s holy to say, “No more.”
God sees your heart—and He’s not disappointed.
He’s proud of the strength you’re finding again.

📘 Next up: Chapter 5 – “The Gaslight Gospel: When Scripture Is Twisted to Keep You Silent” (coming soon)
From the book: "Snatched from the Claws of a Narcissist" by Anuri Mabel
Discover how narcissists use Scripture to control and silence their victims. This eye-opening blog exposes spiritual manipulation and reveals God's true heart for abused women.

He didn’t raise his hand.
He didn’t scream.
But he used verses like shackles.
He quoted Scripture when you wanted to speak.
He reminded you to “submit” when you questioned him.
He told you that leaving was rebellion against God.
That, beloved, is gaslighting—wrapped in religion.
“Even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.” — 2 Corinthians 11:14
And it’s not God’s heart for you.
God’s Word heals. It uplifts. It sets captives free.
It was never meant to be used to keep you in chains.

The Gaslight Gospel is what narcissists use to twist God's truth into a tool of fear, guilt, and control.
Here’s how it sounds:
“A godly woman never questions her husband.”
“You’re not submissive enough—that’s why there’s strife.”
“You’ll lose God’s favor if you leave.”
“God hates divorce—so you're stuck with me.”
This isn't the gospel.
It's emotional manipulation dressed as theology.
“Woe to those who call evil good and good evil…” — Isaiah 5:20
When Jesus quoted the Word, it was always to:
Heal the broken
Confront injustice
Speak truth to power
Defend the defenseless
He never used it to silence victims or excuse cruelty.
So why do narcissists?
Because they want power, not partnership.
They want obedience, not understanding.
They want silence, not healing.
🔹 1. “Wives, submit to your husbands…” — Ephesians 5:22
Twisted meaning: You must obey everything, even abuse.
True meaning: Submission is mutual, loving, and never abusive (see verse 21).
🔹 2. “God hates divorce…” — Malachi 2:16
Twisted meaning: You must stay no matter what.
True meaning: God also hates abuse, betrayal, and injustice.
🔹 3. “Turn the other cheek…” — Matthew 5:39
Twisted meaning: Keep enduring mistreatment.
True meaning: Don't seek revenge—but you can walk away.
🔹 4. “Love covers a multitude of sins…” — 1 Peter 4:8
Twisted meaning: Don’t confront abuse—just forgive.
True meaning: Forgiveness isn’t the same as reconciliation.
🔹 5. “A quarrelsome wife is like... dripping rain.” — Proverbs 27:15
Twisted meaning: Your voice is the problem.
True meaning: Narcissists provoke, then blame your reaction.

✨ 1. Know God's Word for Yourself
The truth will set you free, not trap you.
“Study to show yourself approved…” — 2 Timothy 2:15
✨ 2. Get Around Truth-Speaking Christians
Find community that uplifts, not suppresses.
Church is not meant to be a place of guilt—but of grace.
✨ 3. Call It What It Is: Abuse
Spiritual manipulation is still abuse.
And God never, ever calls His daughters to stay under abuse in the name of religion.
“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted…” — Psalm 34:18
God doesn’t gaslight.
God doesn’t confuse.
God doesn’t threaten you into obedience.
He leads with love.
He walks with mercy.
He speaks with gentleness and justice.
“It is for freedom that Christ has set us free.” — Galatians 5:1
Dear woman of God,
You are not sinful for wanting peace.
You are not rebellious for desiring truth.
You are not disobedient for walking away from manipulation.
God's Word is your shield, not your prison.
Let the real gospel—the one that heals, redeems, and restores—be louder than the lies you've been told.

📘 Up next: Chapter 6 – “God Heard What You Didn’t Say: Validation for the Silenced Heart” (coming soon)
From the book: "Snatched from the Claws of a Narcissist" by Anuri Mabel
You may not have said the words, but God heard your silent pain. This healing blog post offers biblical comfort and validation for women recovering from emotional abuse and narcissistic manipulation.

You couldn’t explain it.
The pain was invisible.
There were no bruises—just a heaviness you carried in your soul.
You didn’t cry out.
You didn’t fight back.
You just… survived.
But in every quiet moment when your spirit whispered, “God, do You see me?”
He answered:
“Yes, My daughter. I saw. I heard. I still do.”
“Before they call I will answer; while they are still speaking I will hear.” — Isaiah 65:24

Sometimes abuse doesn’t sound like shouting.
It sounds like gaslighting, stonewalling, or guilt-tripping.
And so you become silent.
You fear not being believed.
You fear making him angry.
You fear being told it’s your fault.
So you pray in whispers.
You cry into your pillow.
You write journal entries instead of speaking truth aloud.
And still… God heard it all.
The world demands evidence, explanations, and clarity.
But God sees hearts, not headlines.
He interprets your tears. He knows your thoughts. He translates your sighs into prayers.
“You have searched me, Lord, and you know me… before a word is on my tongue, You know it completely.” — Psalm 139:1,4
💧 1. “God, I’m Tired.”
He gives strength when you have none left.
You don’t need to pretend. He welcomes your weariness.
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” — Matthew 11:28
🙈 2. “God, I Don’t Even Know What’s Real Anymore.”
Emotional abuse confuses you. God brings clarity and truth—gently and faithfully.
“God is not the author of confusion but of peace.” — 1 Corinthians 14:33
🤐 3. “God, I Don’t Know How to Ask for Help.”
Even when your words fail, your tears speak. And heaven listens.
“The Spirit Himself intercedes for us through wordless groans.” — Romans 8:26

Sometimes silence is the only way we know how to protect ourselves.
But you’re not weak.
You’re not invisible.
You’re not voiceless.
You are seen. You are known. And now… you are being restored.
📝 1. Write What You Can’t Yet Say
Journaling is healing. Write letters to God.
Tell Him what hurt. What broke. What confused you. He’ll meet you there.
🎶 2. Let Worship Speak for You
When you can’t pray, play worship music. Let it wash over you.
Let lyrics say what your soul can’t articulate.
🗣️ 3. Speak One Sentence Out Loud Each Day
Even if it’s just, “God, I’m still hurting.”
That’s enough. That’s brave. That’s holy.
“He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.” — Psalm 147:3
You didn’t have to scream for God to notice you.
You didn’t need perfect words for Him to understand.
He was there when you were silent… and He’s here now as you begin to speak again.
Your silence was not weakness.
It was survival.
But now, healing has come—and your voice will rise again.

📘 Next up: Chapter 7 – “You’re Not Crazy: The Psychological Warfare of Narcissistic Love” (coming soon)
From the book: "Snatched from the Claws of a Narcissist" by Anuri Mabel
Have you ever questioned your own sanity in a relationship? Learn how narcissists use psychological warfare to confuse and control, and how God restores clarity and confidence.
narcissistic gaslighting signs, emotional abuse recovery, Christian healing from manipulation, narcissist psychological warfare, am I crazy in this relationship, God restores broken minds, healing from narcissistic love
You second-guessed yourself.
You rewrote texts before sending them.
You replayed conversations, wondering if you misunderstood.
You whispered, “Maybe it’s just me.”
But it wasn’t just you.
You were being psychologically attacked in the name of love.
“For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind.” — 2 Timothy 1:7
You are not crazy.
You were just in a relationship with someone who made you doubt your own reality.

Narcissistic love is never about partnership. It’s about power.
The tactics may be silent, but they’re deadly:
Gaslighting: “That never happened.” / “You’re overreacting.”
Projection: They accuse you of the very things they do.
Love-bombing & Withdrawal: Intense affection followed by cold silence.
Triangulation: Comparing you to others to keep you insecure.
Blame-shifting: You’re always at fault—no matter what they do.
“They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak.” — Psalm 12:2 (KJV)
Because every argument turns into confusion.
Every need you express is labeled as nagging.
Every emotion becomes ammunition.
Eventually, you start apologizing for breathing too loud.
You distrust your memory.
You question your discernment.
That’s not love. That’s mental warfare.
Even when your thoughts are tangled, God’s voice is steady.
He gently separates the lies from the truth.
He reminds you of who you are—not who you were made to feel like.
“The Lord gives strength to His people; the Lord blesses His people with peace.” — Psalm 29:11

🔹 1. You Are Not the Problem
Narcissists thrive by making others feel flawed.
God says otherwise:
“You are altogether beautiful, my darling; there is no flaw in you.” — Song of Songs 4:7
🔹 2. You’re Not Crazy—You’re Confused Because of Abuse
There’s a difference between mental illness and being mentally attacked.
The fog you feel is a result, not a flaw.
🔹 3. You Still Hear God—Even If You’re Struggling
Abuse doesn’t cancel your anointing.
Confusion doesn’t silence your calling.
“My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.” — John 10:27
✅ Speak Scripture Over Your Mind Daily
Combat lies with God’s truth. Write verses like:
“You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in You.” — Isaiah 26:3
✅ Get Professional Help + Spiritual Support
Therapy and prayer are not enemies—they work together.
Healing takes time, and God uses many tools.
✅ Distance Yourself from Mental Triggers
Healing begins with space. Even Jesus walked away from toxic crowds to restore His peace.
Dear woman of God,
You’re not broken. You’re not unstable.
You’re not crazy.
You were under attack—and God is your Defender.
He’s restoring your mind, renewing your clarity, and reminding you that you were never the issue.
You are still whole. Still chosen. Still held.

📘 Next up: Chapter 8 – “The Day I Chose Me: Walking Away Without Guilt” (coming soon)
From the book: "Snatched from the Claws of a Narcissist" by Anuri Mabel
Choosing yourself after narcissistic abuse isn’t selfish—it’s sacred. Learn how to walk away from emotional and spiritual manipulation without guilt, and find peace in God's direction.

It wasn’t a loud exit.
There were no screaming matches. No dramatic farewells.
Just a quiet, sacred moment where you whispered,
“I choose peace.”
After all the second chances…
After all the prayers for change…
After all the times you stayed to "make it work"…
You finally realized:
God wasn’t asking you to suffer to prove your love.
“The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.” — Exodus 14:14
And in that stillness, you chose yourself—and you chose Him.

Because narcissists don’t just break your heart—they confuse your identity.
You begin to believe:
“I’m the problem.”
“God won’t bless me if I walk away.”
“Maybe if I try harder…”
But staying in a space that slowly erodes your worth, joy, and sanity is not faithfulness—it’s bondage.
God never asked you to stay where you’re constantly losing yourself.
“It is for freedom that Christ has set us free.” — Galatians 5:1
Letting go doesn’t mean you didn’t love.
It means you loved yourself enough to stop being destroyed.
It means you trusted God enough to walk away without all the answers.
Even if the world judged you,
Even if the church misunderstood,
Even if he twisted the truth...
God knew the cost of your decision.
And He stood with you.
✅ You’re Honoring the Temple God Gave You
“Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit…?” — 1 Corinthians 6:19
✅ You’re Protecting Your Mind and Soul
“Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.” — Proverbs 4:23

“The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life… more abundantly.” — John 10:10

Your mind back
Your peace back
Your voice back
Your connection with God restored
The strength you never knew you had
Walking away doesn’t make you a failure.
It makes you free.
🔹 1. Get Rooted in Truth
Study God’s Word—not just what manipulators used against you, but what He actually says about freedom, safety, and wholeness.
🔹 2. Let Go of the “Fixer” Mentality
You weren’t sent to heal him. You were called to protect your purpose.
🔹 3. Surround Yourself with Real Support
Find those who don’t shame your decision, but celebrate your courage.
“He brought me out into a spacious place; He rescued me because He delighted in me.” — Psalm 18:19
Dear sister,
You are not selfish.
You are not rebellious.
You are not abandoning love.
You are reclaiming it.
You didn’t walk away from love—
You walked away from what was misusing your love.
And now, you're walking toward healing, restoration, and freedom in Christ.
God is proud of you.
And so am I.

📘 Next up: Chapter 9 – “The Mercy That Found Me: How God Rewrote My Story” (coming soon)
From the book: "Snatched from the Claws of a Narcissist" by Anuri Mabel
After the storm of narcissistic abuse, God’s mercy found me. This powerful story reveals how divine grace rewrote my life, brought healing, and restored my identity in Christ.
Christian healing after abuse, God’s mercy and recovery, emotional abuse survivor testimony, rewritten by grace, healing after narcissist relationship, divine restoration, Bible verses on healing and mercy
I was a shell of the woman I used to be.
Drained. Numb. Disconnected from myself.
He had taken everything—my voice, my worth, even my faith.
But when I had nothing left to give,
mercy found me.
It didn’t come loud.
It came gently. Silently. Like a whisper in the wilderness.
“Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life...” — Psalm 23:6
And it didn’t just comfort me.
It rewrote me.

God didn’t wait for me to “get it together.”
He didn’t ask me to fix myself first.
He came into the rubble—sat with me in the ruins—and loved me as I was.
“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” — Psalm 34:18
I didn’t need to earn it.
I didn’t need to be perfect.
I just needed to say, “God, I’m tired.”
And He answered with, “Daughter, I’m here.”
Healing wasn’t just about forgetting the past.
It was about letting God restore what the enemy tried to erase:
My voice
My vision
My values
My victory
“And I will restore to you the years that the locust has eaten...” — Joel 2:25
📖 1. He Gave Me a New Identity
I stopped being “his victim” and became God’s daughter.
No longer defined by pain—but by purpose.
“You are mine.” — Isaiah 43:1
🛠️ 2. He Gave Me Courage to Tell My Truth
No more silence. No more shame.
My story became a testimony—not a secret.
🕊️ 3. He Filled My Life With Peace Again
I used to live in fear.
Now I wake up with joy, even on hard days.
That’s mercy.
“You will go out in joy and be led forth in peace.” — Isaiah 55:12
God didn’t erase my story.
He took the torn pages and wrote something beautiful on them.
Now, I no longer whisper, “Why me?”
I proclaim, “Look what the Lord has done!”
Dear sister,
If you’re standing in the ruins…
If you’re holding the shattered pieces of your heart…
If you’re afraid the pain will never end…
Let me remind you:
Mercy is coming for you.
It doesn’t require perfection.
It just requires surrender.
God is not done with your story.
In fact, He’s just getting started.
“He makes all things new.” — Revelation 21:5
Let Him rewrite your story with mercy as the ink.

From the book: "Snatched from the Claws of a Narcissist" by Anuri Mabel

This isn’t just about walking away from abuse.

I left behind manipulation.
I left behind the version of me who constantly asked,
“Am I the problem?”
And I found someone beautiful on the other side:
Me. Whole. Bold. Free.

Let me tell you what no one talks about enough—
freedom after abuse is messy, magical, and sacred.
Freedom feels like:
Laughing too loud without apologizing
Wearing red lipstick without second-guessing it
Sleeping through the night with no weight on your chest
Praying and actually believing God is still writing your story
“He brought me out into a spacious place; He rescued me because He delighted in me.” — Psalm 18:19
I used to mourn the old me—
The happy, hopeful version of myself.
But now I understand...
God didn’t bring her back.
He brought someone stronger.
Wiser. Fiercer. Fuller of fire and mercy.
“She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come.” — Proverbs 31:25
🌿 1. Choosing Me Wasn’t Sinful—It Was Sacred
Loving myself was the most spiritual thing I ever did.
God didn’t call me to be small so someone else could feel big.
🌼 2. God Didn’t Leave Me Broken
He stayed in the dark with me.
He whispered, “This isn’t your ending, daughter—just your rising.”
🕊️ 3. I Don’t Owe Anyone My Silence
My story is messy, holy, and mine to tell.
And if it helps even one woman breathe again, it’s worth sharing.

This chapter is for you.
Yes, you—with the brave face and the breaking heart.
You who’ve stayed too long.
You who’ve tried too hard.
You who’ve lost too much.
I wrote this so you’ll know:
You’re not crazy
You’re not unworthy
And you’re not too late to come home to yourself
“The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them; He delivers them from all their troubles.” — Psalm 34:17
This isn't just a comeback—
It’s a rebirth.
You’re not “damaged goods.”
You’re not what he said you were.
You’re not too broken for love.
You are:
Rescued by mercy
Refined by fire
Restored by grace
You are the miracle someone else is waiting to read about.
You didn’t just survive—you overcame.
You didn’t just leave—you lived.
And now, you don’t have to whisper anymore.
You can walk. Dance. Laugh. Love.
Unapologetically. Boldly. Free.
You are born again in your own skin.
