博客來The Chains That Tried tio Break Me
I want to begin by telling you something very important: I am not writing
this book from a place of perfect victory. I am not standing at the finish line
with all the answers neatly folded and wrapped. I am writing this from the
battlefield, from the trenches where the struggle is real, the tears are fresh,
and the questions still linger.
If you’ve ever loved a narcissist, you know what I mean. You know the
hunger - the craving for their attention, their approval, their love - and
how that craving can quietly, painfully consume you. You’ve poured out your
heart, your time, your energy, your very self, and often, it felt like nothing
was ever enough. You’ve begged, prayed, and hoped that somehow, love alone
could heal them, fix them, make them see you, honor you, or change.
I’ve been there too. And I want you to know something that may feel hard
to believe right now: the chains that tried to break you... those very chains
are the ones God is using to awaken you.
I know what it feels like to be drained, to feel unseen, to wonder if your
heart will ever recover from the emotional weight you’ve carried. I know
what it feels like to pray for rescue and feel only silence. I know the nights
when the tears are endless, and the mornings come, but your soul feels stuck,
heavy, and defeated.
But here’s the truth: God sees every tear. God hears every cry. God was
never absent. He allowed the breaking, not to punish you, but to awaken
you. He allowed the pain not to destroy you, but to reveal to you your own
strength, your own value, your own soul’s calling.
This book is written for the empath who has loved too much, given too
much, and yet still longs for freedom. It is written for you - the one who is
asking the same questions I’ve asked myself:
Why me? Why this pain? Will I ever be whole again?
