He could have done anything He wanted, but He decided to ask Mary to become the Mother of His Son. He must have had a pretty high regard for her, don’t you think? Why shouldn’t we have a similar regard for her?

FITTING GODLY RESPECT

IS LIGHT YEARS DIFFERENT FROM WORSHIP.

And weasel words just don’t cut it.

Neither do slippery rationalizations and excuses.

God didn't ask her. He sent an Angel to tell her.

LUKE 1:
[26] In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth,
[27] to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Jose
ph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary. [28] And he came to her and said, "Hail, O favored one, the Lord is with you!"
[29] But she was greatly troubled at the saying, and considered in her mind what sort of greeting this might be.
[30] And the angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God.
[31] And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus.

"...you will conceive"

[Global2010]

Mary also had free will and she chose to be obediant to God her whole life.
