Am I really willing to give it all up for God?

I went to church today and heard about Saint Carlo Acutis — a young guy, not much older than me, who lived fully for God.
And for the first time in a long while… something clicked.

I started thinking: What if I actually tried to live like that?
What if I gave my life to God — fully?
What if I became a saint?

Sounds extreme, right? Especially coming from someone like me — a teenager who’s still figuring stuff out.
I go to a small Catholic church in my community. Nothing fancy. But it’s real. It’s home.
And today, something about the message hit different.

I asked myself a tough question:
Am I really willing to let go of the things pulling me away from God?

Not just the obvious stuff. But the habits I’ve picked up, the way I act, the things I scroll past every day.
The arguments with family. The moments I lose control.
The apps that steal my attention.
The people I call “friends” who don’t really care about my soul.

Then I read these two verses:

1 John 2:15–16
“Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh, the desires of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not from the Father but is from the world.”

Colossians 3:2
“Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.”

Those verses didn’t feel like rules.
They felt like a wake-up call.

I’m not perfect — not even close. I’ve made mistakes I’m not proud of. Some of them became habits.
But I don’t want to stay stuck there.

So here I am, asking the real question:
Am I ready to let go? To change?
To live like I actually believe in something more?

And maybe, if you’ve read this far, you’re asking the same thing.
