One of the most powerful personal testimonies I have ever come across
Seriously? It's pathetic. Cringe-worthy, vomit-inducing, and cliché-ridden - and this is what you think is 'powerful', is it?
You also seem to continue to be oblivious to the fact that if this god of your exists and created the world where we are all sinners and need 'saving', is full of unnecessary suffering, and who just plucks some people out of dire circumstances, then that god would be a evil monster.
You appear to be living in a fantasy world. The self-delusion is just staggering.

I just hope and pray that one day you will be able to give a similar testimony when you discover God's love for you.

Believing in things can give purpose and change lives of course. Doesn't mean that what the person believes in is real.

Well, exactly, and the change is not always for the better. Faith motivates religious terrorism too.
People turn their lives around using faith in all sorts of things, and some people do so without using it at all. I knew a former heroin addict who turned his life around basically using techniques based on cognitive behavioural and acceptance and commitment therapy together with peer support groups.

"By no means necessary should I be alive today" doesn't even make sense. If the first sentence is gobbledegook, I can't be bothered to watch the rest.
