The question is awkwardly phrased and as such is unclear.
Can God love without seeing him? --> Who is "him". Perhaps it means to ask: Can a person love God without being able to see him? to which the answer is yes, given how many people declare that they are in love with God. Some, like Catholic priests, devote their entire soul to him.
Can love be commanded? --> This is a more interesting question. Love has two major components, a sentiment of strong attachment and a series of acts to solidify and demonstrate that attachment. Often times, the two function in a virtuous cycle. A person can will themselves to love another being by performing the acts of caring and compassion in order to engender an internal emotion. However, a person cannot love against their will, since this violation of a person's desires will hinder the very flowering that love intends to create.

What is god's justice?
The Christian answer is that (the Creator) God's justice always satisfies love. For example, robbing a bank to give to the hungry is love without justice and putting a man in prison for robbing a bank to satisfy his hunger, without feeding him, is justice without love. There is not one example where God executed judgment without love. If in "god's justice" you are referring to the prince of this world, he is absolutely without love. Putting the burden of blame for the injustice of this world would require you to blame God the Creator for the our ability to love which always requires the choice not to love.
