We can lose the place God has called us to

Our Heavenly Father has a place for each and every person that he has created.  Did you create yourself?  Of course not.  You had a creator and that creator has a purpose and a plan for you.  But it is possible to lose the place that God has called us to.  One example of this was Esau.  If you read Genesis 25:33,34, you see that Esau sold his birthright (or his place) for a bowl of lentils soup.  How did Esau lose the place that was rightfully his?  Because he did not place a high enough priority or value on what God had called him to.
