All throughout the Gospels, as Jesus goes about minstering, it's amazing to see that he sees the ONE. At the well in Sychar, he sits waiting for someONE, he has gone out of his way to meet this someONE. He sees her and speaks straight to her heart and ministers salvation and restoration to her.
On Jesus way into a city he sees Zacchaeus, sitting in a tree. He singles him out and invites himself over to his house all the while ministering to him with his uncoditional love. The result is a completely changed Zacchaeus, a transformed life. And in one of his parables, he is the Shepherd who leaves the 99 because he has to find the ONE.
After Peter's betrayal, and after Jesus had risen from the dead, the angel who spoke to the women at the grave told them to tell the disciples-and Peter that Jesus was going before them to Galilee... Jesus had again singled out the ONE.
This is where God's heart is... his heart and eyes are on the ONE.. If you can see the ONE, you can see everyone.. We are to be imitators of God, "Be followers (imitators, copy him) of God as dear children..." Let's not see the masses of people, let's see the ONE.
