The Bible is clear that Jesus is no respecter of persons meaning He shows no favoritism. However He shows favor to ones who ask in faith that He notice them. A heart can be heavily burdened or a body can be limited physically. While such a person stands in a large crowd of others waiting to be noticed, God sees each and every person as though he/she is the only one. The omnipresence of God allows Him to treat each person with the utmost attention.
When Jesus walked this earth multitudes of people gathered around to hear Him speak or even to get just a glimpse of Him. Imagine a group that large and Jesus calls one person by name and grants healing. This person didn’t chase Him down but stood patiently in the crowd to hear encouraging words from Him. He knows the hearts of every person. Can God notice a lone person in a crown? Absolutely.
Luke 13:10-13 New Living Translation
One Sabbath day as Jesus was teaching in a synagogue, He saw a woman who had been crippled by an evil spirit. She had been bent double for eighteen years and was unable to stand up straight. When Jesus saw her, He called her over and said, “Dear woman, you are healed of your sickness!” Then He touched her, and instantly she could stand straight. How she praised God!
