Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing wherewith his father blessed him

And it came to pass, that when Isaac was old, and his eyes were dim, so that he could not see, he called Esau his eldest son, and said unto him, My son: and he said unto him, Behold, here am I. And he said, Behold now, I am old, I know not the day of my death:
And Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, Behold, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man: My father peradventure will feel me, and I shall seem to him as a deceiver; and I shall bring a curse upon me, and not a blessing. And his mother said unto him, Upon me be thy curse, my son: only obey my voice, and go fetch me them.
And Isaac said unto his son, How is it that thou hast found it so quickly, my son? And he said, Because the LORD thy GOD brought it to me.
And it came to pass, as soon as Isaac had made an end of blessing Jacob, and Jacob was yet scarce gone out from the presence of Isaac his father, that Esau his brother came in from his hunting.
And he said, Is not he rightly named Jacob? for he hath supplanted me these two times: he took away my birthright; and, behold, now he hath taken away my blessing. And he said, Hast thou not reserved a blessing for me? (Gen 27:2,11-13,20,30,36)

Isaac wants to bless his son before he dies, Rebekah is out to make sure her son gets the blessing. Esau has already despised his birthright, and now will lose the blessing of his father, while Jacob will live up to his name and supplant his brother's inheritance. The favoritism and subtlety would cost all of them something. Esau would lose the blessing of the firstborn, Jacob would be driven from the family, Isaac would die knowing the damage that he had caused, and Rebekah would lose the company of both her sons for a long time. But, GOD had a purpose for all of this. He knowing the end from the beginning knew what they would do, and the result of their actions. He allowed them to exercise their free will, and their character, even as He continued His plan for the people of Israel who were to come.

GOD has a plan, but will never force Himself on those who reject Him. He will allow you the freedom to be who you are, even as He changes who you are in Christ. His purpose for His own has always been to conform us to the image of His dear Son. GOD will chastise and correct His children, to bring them into proper fellowship with Himself, and to honor and glorify His Name. His command for us is to go, and as we go share the Good News of forgiveness and Salvation through faith in His finished and perfect work on the Cross of Calvary with everyone we meet. We are to disciple one another in love and His Word, minister to those who are hurting as GOD provides, and proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ to this lost and dying world that they may believe, and believing have life in His Name.

For GOD is not willing that any should perish, but that all would come to repentance and the knowledge of the Truth. Jesus loves you and wants to establish a covenant relationship with you that is real and personal. Surrender to Him on His terms and He will give you a brand new life of discipleship and fellowship with Him that is abundant and everlasting. Turn away from your sIn and unrighteousness and trust what He has already done on that cruel Roman cross. He has provided forgiveness and Salvation through Jesus Christ, the Son of GOD who is GOD the Son, and is our Life. Turn away from yourself and your sIn and turn to Him alone for eternal Life.

In Christ,
