In Deepening Your Conversation with God, Ben Patterson writes:

[W]hen [my children] got old enough to wrestle with me, we played a game we called "Jabba the Butt." The name came from a large, disgusting evil character in the Star Wars trilogy called Jabba the Hutt. We change the surname for the sake of humor.

I would play Jabba and roar around the room as the kids would shoot their laser guns at me and try to wrestle me to the floor. Sometimes I would get into the role too much and their little imaginations would slip into stark terror. They would feel my great strength and hear my booming voice, and Daddy would be transformed into Jabba. The game would stop, and I would hold them tenderly and remind them that I was their Daddy. The juxtaposition of great overwhelming strength and power with tender love is as hard for a child to hold as it is for an adult. My love for them was staggering when they coupled it with my power.

Addressing God as Father can become electrifying, if we can put these two together in our minds: combining infinite love and tenderness with infinite holiness and power. It can become the source of our greatest seriousness and our deepest joy, that one of such might can be called Father, and that our Father can be one with such might! . . . Fear and love go together.
