I am here, Jesus.
I had righteous indignation. So did all the Hebrew prophets before
me. It is a necessary emotion to have. Dr. King also had it, and
he moved the people because of it. It is a true motor and not something
to be condemned. I know some feel that it is not a godly emotion,
but it is.
Everything depends on one's motive. If a person wants a better
world, people will know that. It will be felt intuitively. It is
also important to have nothing but love in one's heart for those
who perpetrate injustice, even as God desires that we assert what
is right.
Indignation is not anger. It comes from a sense of dignity, and
the feeling of being fair, and when these are violated, righteous
indignation is there. But it always results in a desire to correct
the injustice, not to perpetrate negativity. So it does not put
the enemy down - it seeks to build up the concept of fairness.
So what I am saying is that righteous indignation is a normal,
healthy response to injustice. It is healthy because it seeks to
correct the wrong. It is the opposite of apathy.
