svsdnb on "Query Date Array To Display Future Events Only"

I was able to convert ACF's date to YYYY-MM-DD and used this code however it's returning all "Events"

$args = array(
        'post_type' => 'events',
	'post_status' => 'publish',
	'posts_per_page' => '10',
	'meta_query' => array(
				'key' => 'event_date_ends',
				'compare' => '>=',
				'value' => date(Y-m-d),
				'type' => 'DATE'
			),
	'orderby' => 'meta_value_num',
	'order' => 'ASC',
	'paged' => ( get_query_var('paged') ? get_query_var('paged') : 1 ),
);
