In all of shAstra, there has been no bhakta who has had LakShmI herself approach him or her first. Normally, a bhakta seeks devI first, then she bestows her anugraha.
Only Hanuman had the honor of devI herself taking steps towards him+

अवेक्षमाणा वैदेही प्रददौ वायुसूनवे ||अवमुच्यात्मनः कण्ठाद्धारन् जनकनन्दिनी |
अवैक्षत हरीन्सर्वान्भर्तारन् च मुहुर्मुहुः ||
[sIta, having taken her pearl necklace off, was looking at Hanuman, the monkey (an object of her affection), which was seen by her husband and vAnarAs]+

Hanuman never approached sIta here. But it was sIta who was longing to bless him, something which is a rarity as she always waits for the bhakta to approach her.
The specialty of this was not lost on the bhaktAs as well as bhagavAn, who spoke next+

तामिङ्गितज्ञः सम्प्रेक्ष्य बभाषे जनकात्मजाम् |
प्रदेहि सुभगे हारन् यस्य तुष्टासि भामिनि ||
[rAma: sIta, who are dear to me because of your affection for my devotees like Hanuman! Give the pearl necklace to one whom you are pleased with]+
प्रदेहि सुभगे हारन् यस्य तुष्टासि भामिनि ||
[rAma: sIta, who are dear to me because of your affection for my devotees like Hanuman! Give the pearl necklace to one whom you are pleased with]+
Acharyas say that this is very, very unprecedented that devI, who is normally dependent on bhagavAn, had an independent desire to bestow her grace. And bhagavAn gave her permission.
It shows the greatness of Hanuman//
