I haven't ever heard it used when someone's being an ass.
Down south (only true southerners do this though) if you insult someone, it's usually followed by "bless her/his pea pickin' little heart "
take for example, "She doesn't have enough common sense to stay away from the south end of a north bound skunk, bless her pea pickin' little heart."
I've lived down south all my life, and love sayings like this. (:
Anything from he's an idiot to freaking idiot and sometimes it actually means just that! Depends on how and in what wary it's used.
that means "it's a shame (or sorry), is a little late but I wish with all my heart congratulations on your birthday, god bless you"
It is 'my heart' with -ito on it. -Ito signifies small, like a little (young) cousin Arnoldito. So it would mean little heart.
This answer is more of a personal answer but I you out. To set your heart on God would be best understood if you knew what "heart" meant. Your heart is you, the depth of your being. To set your heart on God to me would mean to "set the focus of your existance on who God is". God Bless
There are several theories for this. One theory says that the phrase "God Bless you" came from an Islamic practice which originated over 1400 years ago. According to the Islam religion, when someone sneezed, he should say "All Praises to God" and in response the people would reply "May God Bless You". Another explanation is that when people sneezed it was believed that the heart would miss a beat; in that microsecond, the skip would allow the devil to enter the body. Therefore, saying "God bless you" would stop the devil from entering one's body uninvited. Another middle ages superstition held that, when one sneezed, a large amount of breath (regarded as the very breath of life) could be expelled suddenly from the body, resulting in death. In case the victim died in this instance, he/she would at least go to heaven with God's Blessing. Written records state that the saying goes back to the time of Pope Saint Gregory I, or Gregory the Great, who was Pope of the Catholic Church from September 590 until he died in 604. When Pope Gregory ascended to the Papacy, it was just in time for the start of the Plague, so this Pope is unfortunately known as the patron saint of plague. He believed that constant repetition of litanies and unceasing prayer for God's help and intercession would help ward off sickness. On 16 February 590 A.D., Pope Gregory decreed that whenever someone sneezed, others should say "God bless you" in response. The blessing was given in the hope (or belief) that the one who sneezed wouldn't then develop the plague. Perhaps there was more to this than people realised: it is interesting to note that the plague of 590 A.D. dissipated very quickly.
The phrase "bless his pea-pickin' little heart" is a Southern expression used to convey affection or sympathy for someone, often in a humorous tone. It is meant to show fondness or endearment towards the person being referred to.

I would say God bless your heart, when somebody did something really nice, something gentle, kind or sacrificial.To say God bless your heart is not merely saying thank you, but also acknowledges that person's kind heart, and wishes that God would reward them for their kindness.God bless you all, especially those with kind hearts.2. This is a term used by the people of the southern United States particularly near the Gulf of Mexico to express to someone that they are an idiot without saying such harsh words.

The heart is said to be the size of your fist. If you are little, your heart is little as well.
