God's Grace

God's Grace flows through out lives ~ 21 September 2012 As I was contemplating my life and the Divinely orchestrated synchroniscities of my life, I recalled an experience that I had in the late 1980's. I had been taking classes at what is now Utah Valley University (UVU) along with Institute classes, classes for religious study, for several semesters. I was not able to pay for the next semester at UVU and I wanted to take a class at the Institute on the Life of Jesus Christ. When I went to register for the class I was honest and told them I was not a student, I was not allowed to register. When I asked why, I was told that it was because the classes held at 10 am were for 'students only'. I explained that the class had room for another member and that I had spoken with the teacher and he was willing to allow me to attend his class. The woman firmly, reaffirmed that I was not allowed to take the class because it was 'policy'. I said whose 'policy'? She informed me that the head of the Institute has made the rule to provide students with the availability of the 10 o'clock hour. She could tell I was extremely frustrated and told me I could talk with the person in charge. I said I would love to speak with him. As I explained the situation to this man how I really desired to take this class and that I needed to take this class. That there was room in the class and that the teacher did not have a problem with my taking the class, he interrupted me and said, “Now, Sister Jonas, do you thinks rules were made to be broken?” My emotions overflowed and I began to tear up. I felt no compassion or empathy from this person. I left the interview feeling so deeply sad and rejected. The Lord whispered in my ear and said not to worry that this man would be held responsible and that there was another way that would be provided for me to learn of my Savior Jesus Christ. That my honesty would be repaid. The Lord knew that I could have lied and told the registrar that I was a student and then I would have been able to take the class for a mere $5 with no questions asked. I have never been able to lie. It is not in my character, nor my cell tissue. I sometimes have problems with what the 'Truth' is in certain situations, however, I have always known what is 'truth' for me. I have been so greatly rewarded as I have forgiven this man what at the time I felt were trespasses against me. I now see him as innocent, doing the best he knew how. My heart reaches out to him for the Savior's Love to Enfold him. My own Journey with Jesus Christ has turned me inside out, upside down, and thrust me into a journey of self healing. It has opened my eyes and ears to the pains of society and human consciousness. It has allowed me to understand the Divine Plan and my own purpose through my life. Our purpose is shown to us before our descent into human form. It is sealed in our Souls and embedded within our cell tissue. It can not be lost or stolen from us. It remains hidden until we seek it. It is not secret, it is sacred and will only come forth as we strive to know what it is, ask God to show it to us and bring our life into alignment through the Atonement. Our purpose is chosen for us as we counsel in the preexistence prior to our incarnation. It is carefully orchestrated for us to be able to claim it with right timing for our ultimate good. Because we are part of the planning committee for our purpose we are held accountable for it fulfillment. Your Purpose can only be fulfilled when you learn, THY WILL, NOT my will, BE DONE.

Dear Lord

Dear Lord ~ Keep me this day in the Hollow of Thy Hand ~ Guide me and Guard me as I travail through the mists of my life. Lord, I pray part the mists ~ That I may Emerge into Thy Holiness. MariahInanna Jonas 17 September 2012
