Can God love without seeing him and love be commanded?
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.
