What single aspect of my belief makes it most worthwhile/ What argument best supports my belief: that my life is better for it.. and my potential for happiness greater.
What argument external to my belief is the best argument for it: that love is the most powerful force/ that positivity trumps negativity every time.
What is it specifically about theism is it that makes sense to you as opposed to naturalism?
I'm generally for a pragmatically useful belief, so all good to you for finding something that's personally helpful, however I really doubt that you have attained some level of happiness (or increased the potential thereof) that can't be attained by non-theists.
I don't exactly see what you're getting at with love being an argument for God... Firstly, love is a phenomenon that is experienced the same in either worldview, it's only the mechanics of it that changes. Secondly, love does not always trump hate and negativity every time no matter how much you might want it to be that case. I know already that you're set on belief in a posthumous justice to resolve the imablances, is that what you're getting at?
