Who is this Mary- Part 4

Mary is not merely a tool for God to use. She is a person and that of itself is enough to cause us to give her a lot of attention. God makes things and God makes people. To regard Mary merely as the human tool used by God to conceive His son is to reduce Mary to merely a thing and it is to reduce God to a callous user of people for his own purposes. Such a belief would be directly opposed to the Ten Commandments themselves. God would therefore be a transgressor and imperfect and could not be God. God lives within his own rules not because they bind him but because God's rules are a perfect reflection of God's own perfection. Therefore, as we consider Mary we need to think about the significance of God's choice of this young woman. We need to consider that God selected her for a reason. Perhaps it all has to do with Mary herself and her goodness. Or perhaps we miss the point when we focus upon Mary and lose sight of the reason for God's choice to become incarnate of the Virgin Mary.
