Perhaps not for dishes, but certainly if they were unfaithful to me. Many people forsook God in the Bible, were unfaithful and worshipped other gods.
You also had disciples who followed His earthly ministry and eventually left Him. (John 6:66)
For they didn't believe, and of course did not come to love Him or in my opinion why would they have left Him.
Yet, that was a different time, without the Holy Spirit being given unto them as is the case with us who are drawn to Him.

As Sister Fragrant Grace has stated, it a growing process for sure. We know that He first loved us (1 John 4:9), so when the knowledge of how great His Love of us begins to open within us a greater understanding, that we get to not only know what love is but live that love in return it to the Glory of God.
For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, May be able to comprehend with all saints what [is] the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God. Ephesians 3:14-19
That Love experience starts at the Cross, when we can see the Love of God and the price that Love may require of us.
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16
Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. John 15:13
Yet we know that it doesn't stop there for us who still live in His Love for we don't come to a full understanding of this love without the fullness of God. That our Father may continue to grow/shape us in that knowledge of His great Love, that we in turn may Love Him even more than we do now.
But now, O LORD, thou [art] our father; we [are] the clay, and thou our potter; and we all [are] the work of thy hand. Isaiah 64:8
And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory, Romans 9:23
Please don't tie God's Love into Works alone! For even if you could do what our Lord did by dying on the Cross, which is the ultimate of love, you would still not know the fullness of His Love, for you, nor could you ever fully give it back, try as one might. Yet, try we do, so don't diminish what another can or cannot do for Christ. For you might very well could be bringing low what is to the Glory of God.
With the Love of Christ Jesus.
