She's the daughter of a Jedi Master and a former Jedi Knight (who left the order due to family/political obligations), both of whom are Skywalker descendants, so neither she nor anyone else has ever questioned that she was born to be a Jedi. (And, yes, I think that pretty much everyone born with more than a smidgen of Force sensitivity is meant to be a Jedi in the GFFA.)
Now that Jillian is an adult, her moral compass is firmly grounded upon her own conscience and feeling the Force within. The spirit of the law/code matters more to her than the letter. Qui-Gon would approve, I think.
When she was born with Force potential on the high end of the Skywalker spectrum, her parents and the Order had to make a decision: Choose the path of mistrust and fear of her power and try to restrict it — we all know how well that turned out when the Old Republic Jedi tried it with Anakin — or choose the path of trust and love and focus on giving her the moral/emotional foundation to make the right choices in the use of it. I like a Jedi Order that learns from past mistakes.
