Kirbmarc, here's what the Bible has to say on God's love for you, not for some group of people in the past:
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son."
"But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us."
"The LORD your God is in your midst, a mighty one who will save; he will rejoice over you with gladness; he will quiet you by his love; he will exult over you with loud singing."
"Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love."
"Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you."
"Who shows no partiality to princes, nor regards the rich more than the poor, for they are all the work of his hands."
"But you, O Lord, are a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness."
"I love those who love me, and those who seek me diligently find me."
You could try to be noble and say "Since God did not treat the Canaanites like He promises to treat me, I will go on strike and reject His gifts" but would you be truthful? Is that really the reason you turn your face from your Creator?
