St. Francis of Assisi said, "You should not let a single person in the world, whatever sin that person may have committed, come before your eyes and depart without having found mercy with you...
And were that person to come to you a thousand times, continue to love them so as to lead them back to the right path. Always have compassion, for all of us have sinned." —St. Francis of Assisi
"If your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him. If he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times comes back to you and says, 'I repent,' forgive him." (Luke 17:3-4)

hmmmm, let's see, i think i'm learning this lesson with my kids! it's hard but i'm learning to forgive instead of casting judgement on them each time.
Forgiveness is a part of the process.
But if your brother sins against you 7 times in a day, what do you do about it to help stop the cycle?
Accountability is a key. Because if you allow a brother to continue to sin and you see this, and you do nothing you are just as guilty in supporting it.
In order for us to be true Christ followers we have to be willing to be held accountable, and we have to be willing to do the same for others.
Remember to show you are a true Christ Follower you must WALK IT
