The confidence that we can have that we truly "love God" is in the way we "love others". Loving others is the evidence of loving God. Our love for God is most clearly seen in the way we love others.
Anyone can say "I love Jesus" but nothing says "I love Jesus" better than the way we treat others. If we say that we love God and don't love people, we are simply deceiving ourselves. Others should be able to see our love for God in the way we treat them.
Simply put, God loves everyone! "God so loved the world…" If we call ourselves "followers of Jesus", loving everyone will be the natural overflow of following.
Who is it that we "don't" love? This "lack of love" is evidence in our hearts that we are not truly loving God. The solution is to pursue loving God more.
