We all need to find meaning for our existence. I'm pleased that you've found one that makes you happy. Please consider that meaning is personal, and don't proselytize your way as a privileged one that should apply to all people. Take a moment when you make statements of that sort and ask yourself what your true motivations are.

Some people are lonely and looking for help. I've been there and this decision was the best thing that ever happened to me. I've seen it work for countless others. My motivation is simply to help others.

I appreciate that you want to help other people, but when you make blanket statements like that, it implies other meanings people have found are somehow inferior.
Through Jesus you gained a feeling that you are loved, that you exist as part of something larger than yourself, and your life has purpose. Those ultimate results are what you should be trying to lead people to. There's nothing wrong with sharing how the teachings of Jesus lead you there. Think of it this way - there are many paths to a destination, which one you should take depends on where you are starting your journey.
