One so Lost

This morning I heard on the news what Demi Moore said of herself; that what scares her is that she is going to ultimately find out at the end of her life that she is really not lovable, that there is something fundamentally wrong with her. (This, by the way, is what the enemy wants us to believe about ourselves!)  The typical first response of most to such an admission is, "Her?  She has everything - had everything.  Looks, talent, Ashton..."  I can almost hear someone now proclaiming that if she had what Demi has, she would  not be depressed or ever experience self-doubt.
To me, Demi's statement affirms what I have long believed - one doesn't need to be of what society deems as mediocre to feel the sting of insecurity, of feeling inadequate, of a feeling of worthlessness.  Such feelings come from the inability to see self through His eyes or from a lack of faith to believe that it could be true that the Creator of All would notice me, much less love me!  Also typical is when one asks 'why', they look for the answer in self and see, recognize and acknowledge unworthiness for such love.  When asking 'why', the answer comes from Him, through Him!  He is why!  Because He is love!  He proved that by sending His One and Only Son to die for us - to take the penalty of sin for us... a gift none of us could ever earn or be worthy of but given anyway because of His love for us!  It takes a long time for that truth to sink in for some.  I know that it took a while for me to grasp it.
My next thought was how could someone like me - whom society deems as unworthy of ever approaching someone like Demi - ever get close enough to share The Message with her?  I wondered how it could be that she is 49 and has either not heard or has not believed the Blessed Message.  I thought about mentors again.  As I got ready for work, various scenarios played out in my mind about me personally attempting to reach her with news that would completely turn her life around, whether or not Ashton ever came back in it to stay.  None of the scenarios I imagined turned out very well.
After finishing my morning routine at work, I pulled out my little book, "His Princess - Love Letters from Your King" by Sheri Rose Shepherd.  On page 28 I read, "Pray with Power" and was reminded on page 29 of John 14:13-14 You can ask anything in My Name and I will do it, because the work of the Son brings glory to The Father.  Yes, ask anything in My Name and I will do it.
So, I prayed for Demi.  And through this experience, I am compelled to add to my daily prayers, a prayer for all of those who are in her position... not that of celebrity, but that of fearing they are unlovable when they are loved by The Most High!  I have long known I should pray for the lost.  I will pray for a while and then they drop off my prayer list for a time.  The process through which I've gone this morning in my response to Demi Moore's confession of fear has helped me realize that one so lost does need our prayers - I am reminded of the pain of being one so lost, the fear, the anguish, the hopelessness.  How I think of the lost has gone from abstract to very real and personal to me - I didn't realize it wasn't before now.
Not to embark into another subject and detract from what I've already discussed, but I need to mention briefly that I do realize in what all I've said here that I've made the assumption (and perhaps the judgment) that Demi is one so lost.  If I am guilty of judging, I believe God will reveal that to me and I will repent.  What I believe I have done is discern the reason for her fear and launched into the only action available to me in order to help her - called upon The One Who truly can... and truly will help her!
