I don't "discount" the book of Revelation (as not part of love & grace) after going through it with bros here a couple years ago! Yes, there is a lot of judgment, but here's the thing. Revelation is about two kingdoms - the kingdom of darkness with Satan as the head, and the kingdom of light with our Lord and Savior as its head. In Revelation both are brought to full manifestation (or the tress are allowed to fully bare mature fruit). One tree must be dealt with and cut down. The other is nurtured and exalted.
I look it like a big cancer in the body. If you love someone and have the ability, you cut the cancer out, so they may live in freedom!
So yes, even in the book of Revelation - HE LOVES US!
