As a Southern lady, I can tell you there are several meanings to this Southern phrase.
1. If something terrible happens to you, I say it as a way to say "That really sucks! I feel sorry for you." I'll look at you with genuine sympathy.
2. If I look at you with a sardonic smile, I'm trying to call you an idiot without sounding rude.
3. If I look annoyed or mad, that means you've really crossed the line and you're not in good stead with me. It's my way of saying "Go fuck yourself!!!" when I'm in a situation where I can't just say that.

the worst insult any southerner could dish out. to "bless someone's heart" is to pity someone for their sheer ignorance, stupidity, and gosh darn lack of intelligence. if the person who's heart you are blessing does not realize they are being insulted, then that proves their stupidity.
daniella: hey josh, i think i lost my glasses.
jonah: bless your heart daniella, but youre wearing your glasses right now.
daniella: oops, silly me!

When someone dislikes another individual in the workplace or elsewhere and decides to issue a "bless you" to everyone but that person when he or she sneezes, indicating a lack of worthiness and respectability.
"I don't think Jenna likes me anymore."
"Why not?"
"She gave the selective bless-you to everyone who sneezed in the office today but me, even though I sneezed three different times."
"Oh, that sucks."
"Why not?"
"She gave the selective bless-you to everyone who sneezed in the office today but me, even though I sneezed three different times."

'A good morning and God bless' is an act where a human takes a sh*t while eating breakfast and drinking coffee at the same time. Often people feel the sound of the bathroom fan is sooting while the coffee relaxes their bowels.
Hila: Ethan I need the bathroom! What are you doing?
Ethan: The good morning God bless Hila!
Hila: What!?
Ethan: It´s a good morning and God bless
Hila: What are you doing?
(Hila opens the door and finds Ethan on the toilet drinking coffee and eating breakfast)
Ethan: Hila do you just open det door while people take a sh*t!? I´m doing a good morning God bless! I need another 20 minutes at least.
Hila: (laughter)
Ethan: Whats so funny?
Ethan: The good morning God bless Hila!
Hila: What!?
Ethan: It´s a good morning and God bless
Hila: What are you doing?
(Hila opens the door and finds Ethan on the toilet drinking coffee and eating breakfast)
